July 2016 Releases

Our Record of the Month for July 2016 celebrates Hyperion's association with Westminster Abbey Choir and its distinguished Master of the Choristers James O'Donnell with a new recording of Taverner's Mater Christi sanctissima & Western Wynde Masses—two of the seminal works from the reign of Henry VIII. The early Moszkowski Piano Concerto—its score long presumed lost, its very existence known only to a few—makes volume 68 of our Romantic Piano Concerto series an especially desirable acquisition for all pianophiles. Ludmil Angelov and Vladimir Kiradjiev (the soloist and conductor responsible for the work's first performance in modern times) here make their Hyperion debuts, joining the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in this premiere recording.

Two contrasting vocal recitals offer fascinating perspectives on love, loss and desire six centuries apart. The Orlando Consort continues to explore the music of the fourteenth century with Machaut A burning heart. It is a particular pleasure to welcome soprano Sophie Bevan to the label in a wonderful late-Romantic programme of Reger Songs. She is partnered by Malcolm Martineau.

This month sees two divergent releases from LSO Live. The London Symphony Chorus directs its massed voices towards the Rachmaninov Vespers, one of the greatest contributions to Russian sacred music of all time. Simon Halsey conducts. Steve Reich's Clapping music & other works gives centre-stage to the LSO Percussion Ensemble in a riot of rhythmical expression.
