“I would say that any disc which offered such a 24-carat Purcell selection in performances even half as good as these would be hard to resist.” Gramophone Magazine “this glorious, darkly intense funeral music is given an outstandingly fresh and clear rendition, vividly recorded, matching even the finest rival versions. The sharpness of focus in the sound means that Purcell's adventurous harmonies with their clashing intervals are given extra dramatic bite in these dedicated performances, marked by fresh, clear soprano tone in place of boy trebles.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Respighi - La Primavera & Quattro Liriche
Respighi's reputation depends largely on his symphonic poems whose bold use of orchestral colour derived from Rimsky-Korsakov’s example. His rarely heard ballet La pentola magica (The Magic Pot) pays tribute to other Russian composers including Arensky, Grechaninov, Pachulski, Rebikov and Anton Rubinstein. His triumphant cantata La Primavera (Spring) was based on Constant Zarian’s adaptations of ancient Armenian poetry, while the song cycle Quattro liriche su poesie popolari armene uses archaic church modes and a quasi-Armenian ensemble to create an exotic religious mood. | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Margaret Rizza: Mysterium Amoris
Gaudete Ensemble, Eamonn Dougan Margaret Rizza sang professionally for twenty-five years, before teaching at London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She has directed music groups, making many recordings. She began composing in 1997 and has since earned huge admiration for her ‘Classical Contemporary’ sound world, works of spiritual contemplation and great beauty. Hers is music of great spiritual depth and, whether a cappella or for vocal and instrumental forces, it generates a sense of lyricism and healing resolution. None of the works on this disc have been recorded before. The Gaudete Ensemble was formed and directed by Margaret Rizza as a small parish choir for St Thomasʼ Church in Sevenoaks. As it developed it went on to do many concerts and recordings. For this present recording, the ensemble is made up of fully professional singers and instrumentalists directed by Eamonn Dougan, who pursues a busy schedule working as both singer and conductor. He is the first Associate Conductor of the world renowned vocal ensemble The Sixteen and has directed the ensemble to considerable acclaim at concert halls and festivals across England and Europe. “the cosily devotional nature of this CD...may potentially divide listeners. If you're already inside the tent, Rizza's music will warm it pleasantly for you. If not, it can quickly come to seem a touch homogenised and repetitive in its sentiments and gestures.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2012 *** “Rizza's music is tonal and diatonic. There are frequent unison passages, and one has the impression that the aim is to enhance the mood of the text without getting in the way of its meaning. There are echoes, from time to time, of other composers, Arvo Pärt, for example, or even Eric Whitacre, though the majority of this music was written before that composer's rise to fame.” International Record Review, December 2012 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
