Shchedrin: The Sealed AngelSUMMARY TRACK LISTING REVIEWS INFO Two of Britains finest young choirs join forces to give voice to the sublime expressiveness of Rodion Shchedrins Russian liturgy, an astonishing statement of faith composed in the early days of perestroika. Shchedrins choral tableaux juxtapose tenderness with bracing sonic impact, and are shadowed throughout by a plangent solo oboe representing the soul of the Russian people. "Sung with clarity and sensitivity by the

mighty in works but mightier in virtue’

and Kerry Andrew's coolly sensuous setting of William Carlos Williams's much-memed poem about plums in an icebox"

It centres on the efforts of an ambitious female baboon

by their complete immersion in MacMillan’s sound-world

playing around with its warmth of colours to bring out with glorious inevitability the Bach and Shostakovich hidden therein"

Recorded in July 1994 and February 1995 at Wigmore Hall

The choir sing with tremendous fervour

Recorded on 19-20 June 2005 at Reid Concert Hall

And then I had to think of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Total playing time: 1:09:01
