Cambridge University Chamber Choir, Christopher Robinson

“Under the experienced Christopher Robinson, the young singers of the Cambridge University Chamber Choir make the most of this treasure-trove, with secure pitching, clear enunciation, and a bright well-balanced sound.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ****

“Plaudits to Christopher Robinson and the Cambridge University Chamber Choir for their keenly prepared and fervent exploration of this still under-appreciated repertoire. And what an absorbing creative portrait of the composer they give us, stretching from 1889 and 'My love dwelt in a northern land' to 1925 and the delectably assured setting of Walter de la Mare's 'The Prince of Sleep'. Other bewitching gems along the journey include 'As torrents in summer'(from the epilogue of the 1896 cantata King Olaf), 'Evening Scene' (1905) and 'Go, song of mine' (1909). In the five items (Opp 71-73) from 1914 Elgar's treatment of the a cappella medium acquires an extra confidence (the writing at once dark, rich and penetrating), though perhaps the most sheerly gripping and diverse inspiration on this well filled anthology is to be found within the four Op 53 songs of 1907: sample the eartickling bitonality of 'There is sweet music' or ghostly gloom of 'Owls' (Elgar at his most daring and inscrutable).
One might hope for a fractionally tighter focus to what is an otherwise tonally true sound-picture (the words are not always ideally clear – Naxos does, thankfully, supply full texts). Otherwise, these commendably disciplined and infectiously spirited performances are sure to give pleasure. A tempting price, too!”
Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010

“These commendably disciplined and infectiously spirited performances are sure to give pleasure. A tempting price, too! ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008

“Christopher Robinson's survey of English choral music for Naxos…has been hailed as perhaps the finest ever conducted on disc” The Observer
