PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Zum Geburtstag

Natürlich steht 2014 musikalisch ganz im Zeichen von Richard Strauss, aber in diesem Jahr feiert mit Harrison Birtwistle (Jahrgang 1934) immerhin einer der bedeutendsten britischen Komponisten ebenfalls Geburtstag. Auch im Ausland gilt der Komponist nach wie vor als eine der profiliertesten Stimmen der zeitgenössischen britischen Musik. Die Zusammenstellung auf SIGNUM CLASSICS vereint sowohl ältere (Carmen Paschale aus dem Jahr 1965) als auch jüngere (The Moth Requiem aus dem Jahr 2012) Vokalkompositionen des Meisters zu einer kleinen Werkschau. Zu hören sind mit den BBC Singers und dem Nash Ensemble zwei der Spitzenensembles aus Großbritannien. Die Leitung hat Nicholas Kok.



As 2014 marks the composer s 80th year, Harrison Birtwistle remains one of the most popular voices in contemporary composition in the UK and beyond. This new collection of premiere recordings draws together recent commissions with older works to mark the occasion, with characteristically flawless performances from the BBC Singers under Nicholas Kok. They are joined on this disc by the Nash Ensemble and baritone Roderick Williams. This is the fourth in Signum's ongoing series of composer-led releases with the BBC Singers, with past discs featuring the works by Judith Bingham, Richard Rodney Bennett, and most recently Edward Cowie.
