Collegium Vocale Gent & Royal Flemish Philharmonic, Philippe Herreweghe

Collegium Vocale Gent is considered to be one of the best vocal ensembles in the world. The most important work on the album is the Symphony of Psalms. Stravinsky said “it is not a symphony in which I have included to be sung. On the contrary, it is the singing of Psalms that I am symphonizing."

“...vital, finely focused singing...The opening movement has a fierce urgency and the fugal exposition of the second is beautifully articulated.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2010 ****

“Herreweghe really engages with this music in a way few of his rivals have done, and he has marvellous singers and players to realise his view of the work. While Herreweghe understands the restrained mood of the work, he doesn't let this become stern or solid....[his] ear for balance proves to be impeccable, and enlightening” International Record Review, July/August 2010
