Reviews

'Freshness of timbre, individuality in the four voice-sections and genuine versatility of interpretive approach are major characteristics. It clearly helps to have the composer, formerly a chorister of distinction, at the tiller: the performances sound absolutely secure in intent and unfussily authoritative' (BBC Music Magazine)» More
RECORDING

'Britain's Bob Chilcott has become a truly international figure in choral music in recent years, as this disc richly testifies, with 18 typically graceful and arresting pieces written for choirs in the Czech Republic, the US, Japan, Newfoundland and Germany, sung with warmth and commitment by the Wrocław Philharmonic. The album takes its title from a beautiful work originally written for 800 singers and players, with words celebrating nature's renewal by the poet Charles Bennett, who collaborated so successfully with Chilcott in his environmental epic The Angry Planet at this year's Proms' (The Guardian)
