November 2014 Releases

A glorious new Bach Mass in B minor is our Record of the Month for November 2014. Relative newcomers, the singers and instrumentalists of Arcangelo have quickly carved out an enviable reputation; for this fifth Hyperion recording director Jonathan Cohen has co-opted soloists Lydia Teuscher, Ida Falk Winland, Tim Mead, Samuel Boden and Neal Davies. Two further choral releases explore rather more arcane corners of the repertoire: The Brabant Ensemble and Stephen Rice have recorded the Brumel Missa de beata virgine (this plainsong-infused Mass being joined by four motets), while Royal Holloway Choir explores a varied selection of Hymns to Saint Cecilia from Elgar to MacMillan under the direction of Rupert Gough.

Thrilling new keyboard recordings this month: from piano legend Marc-André Hamelin we have wonderfully introspective Debussy Images & Préludes II, award-winning harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani has recorded the complete Rameau Pièces de clavecin, and Danny Driver compellingly performs the Schumann Novelletten & Nachtstücke (the former being the composer's longest, but least known, piano cycle and regarded by Schumann as one of his finest works).
