Release Notes:
John Rutter conducts the Cambridge Singers and La Nuova Musica
in this ravishing new recording of European church music from
the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
A major new disc on Collegium from John Rutter, the Cambridge
Singers and La Nuova Musica, featuring a collection of
outstanding motets from the canon of European sacred choral
repertoire. Focusing on the extraordinary body of choral music
produced for liturgical use during the Renaissance and Baroque
periods, The Sacred Flame explores the rich and varied ways in
which European composers responded to sacred texts. Delving
into a treasure-trove of music from cultural centres as
diverse as Amsterdam, Antwerp, Leipzig, Milan, Rome, and
Venice, this collection features familiar classics by
Gabrieli, Monteverdi, Palestrina and Sch│tz, as well as less
widely-known masterpieces by Bach, Buxtehude, Hassler and
Sweelinck. All are performed in stunning new recordings by the
Cambridge Singers at their sensuous and virtuosic best, joined
here for the first time on disc by the instrumentalists of La
Nuova Musica, rapidly establishing a reputation as one of the
UK's most exciting early music ensembles.
All repertoire featured on The Sacred Flame is drawn from the
enormously popular European Sacred Music collection edited by
John Rutter for the Oxford University Press Oxford Choral
Classics series. Recorded in the unparalleled acoustic of the
Great Hall at University College School in London, and
produced and engineered by award winning producer Simon Eadon,
the performances of these much loved works heard on this disc
are set to become definitive.
