专辑简介
Christmas comes in new and unexpected guises- like last leaf\’s fall, in Rowan Williams\’s poem Advent Calendar. Following three acclaimed Delphian recordings of Tudor music, Toby Ward and Ensemble Pro Victoria bring fresh, contemporary colours to the seasons of Advent and Christmas; the mood is quiet anticipation, guarded joy, sometimes even fear and uncertainty, as the Virgin-the spotless Rose at the still centre of it all -sings her son to sleep amidst death and persecution. Williams narrates the Nativity story, around which the choir weave Hugo Distler\’s searching polyphonic variations; Piers Connor Kennedy\’s Nowel elel for harp and just six men\’s voices is an intimate companion piece- or contrast to Britten\’s famous carol cycle, and has its first recording here by the group for which it was written.
