Simone Rebello percussion
Paul Silverthorne viola
BBC Singers
Bob Chilcott conductor
"…Be it jazzy, humorous or serious, all the artistic and technical demands of this varied programme are deftly handled by the wonderfully versatile BBC Singers, clearly happy to be working under the composer’s baton. With Signum’s suitably spacious recorded sound, this is a glorious showcase of one of the finest choral composers at work in Britain today."
Mark Rochester, Gramophone December 2007
"...The selection of music on this disc has been well made to give a good variety of perspectives on Bob Chilcott’s choral output. I enjoyed the recital immensely. Chilcott is a resourceful composer and one who writes exceptionally well for voices and he is superbly served here by the virtuosity of the BBC Singers. With good notes by the composer himself and excellent recorded sound this all adds up to a most attractive package."
John Quinn, MusicWeb International
"He has the knack of exploring highly effective uncomplicated choral devices, and providing both singers and listeners with a complete cycle that leaves them fulfilled yet still prepared for more ... It is all splendidly entertaining."
