Kodaly Poulenc - Kyrie-Geistliche Chorwerk on CD

Description

The Choir of St Johns College, Cambridge return to disc with three 20th Century masterpieces: Poulencs Mass in G Major; last recorded by the choir over 40 years ago under the iconic George Guest; Kodálys 'Missa Brevis' and Janáceks 'Otcená' (Our Father). All works make use of highly distinctive musical languages, yet all three are tonal and highly accessible. It's sheer choral heaven to have all three works on one disc! This disc follows the choirs debut release of works by Jonathan Harvey 'Deo' (SIGCD456), which was awarded the choral prize at the 2017 BBC Music Magazine Awards.
