Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, Robert Spano This new recording by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano bears the title “Transmigration”, and is a collection of hymns and requiems for those we wish to honour and remember. The featured pieces are Samuel Barber’s universal expressions of loss, “Adagio for Strings” and the vocal transcription “Agnus Dei”, John Corigliano’s “Elegy” to lost youth, Jennifer Higdon’s setting of poetry about Abraham Lincoln, “Dooryard Bloom”, and John Adams’s reflection of personal grief for the victims of the World Trade Centre tragedy on September 11, 2001, “On the Transmigration of Souls”. The ASO is joined on this piece by the Gwinnett Young singers and the soloist in “Dooryard Bloom” is the baritone Nmon Ford. Robert Spano is recognised internationally as one of the brightest and most imaginative conductors of his generation. His achievements include a 2005 Grammy Award (“Best Choral Album”) for Berlioz’s Requiem and two 2003 Grammy Awards (“Best Classical Album” and “Best Choral Album”) for Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony. “Using street-sounds and voices alongside the choir and orchestra, Transmigration, one of Adams's finest works, eschews anger, bitterness and condemnation, yet presents stark depictions of grief, loss and terror before the music subsides into a recognition of the integral part sorrow played in everyday life after 9/11.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2009 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Accentus - Transcriptions
Accentus & Les Monts du Reuil, Laurence Equilbey This film was shot as a result of the huge success of the two volumes of “Transcriptions” performed by the award-winning choral group “Accentus” under its conductor Laurence Equilbey. The director Andy Sommer has created what he describes as “a sort of ‘a cappella musical’ focusing on the repertoire of transcriptions”. “To revisit two of the most impressive choral recordings of the past five years in the company of this visually inspired film is a true delight. In a nutshell, this is beautiful music, beautifully sung and beautifully filmed. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 “If you have missed the
two marvellous
“Transcriptions” volumes
from Laurence Equilbey
and her wonderful
Accentus group,
this might be a perfect
introduction. Otherwise,
this is a fine complement.
A film to match the
albums for sheer quality.” Gramophone Magazine | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
