“Gutsy singing from the Winchester Choir, the measured simplicity of Solveig Kringelborn, and David Dunnett's vivacious organ accompaniments make David Hill's survey of mid '80s to early '90s Tavener a persuasive proposition.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2009 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Tavener: Choral Ikons
The Choir, James Whitbourn John Tavener describes his music as resembling ‘ikons in sound’ – a window on to the Divine world. The British conductor and composer James Whitbourn conducts the London-based ensemble The Choir in a programme of Tavener’s hauntingly beautiful unaccompanied choral music in performances described as “impressive and spiritual”. ‘The power of the performances is overwhelming and the credit goes to James Whitbourn and his vocal ensemble The Choir’ The Organ “James Whitbourn's singers, seasoned yet still young, robustly engage with compositions that many groups treat with bloodless reverence...Those who like their Tavener pure and ethereal should not be deterred from tasting The Choir's more muscular approach to the composer's work. The tonal weight and emotional conviction of their performance opens fresh perspectives on familiar works.” Classic FM Magazine, May 2011 **** “The clue is not to over-dramatise the musical content - after all, Tavener is projecting a musical image, not telling a story - and The Choir thrive on the more expansive and extended images, such as Song for Athene and The Hymn of the Unwaning Light.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2011 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
