Music : Bax/Finzi/Vaughan Williams: Choral Works
This disc is rather disappointing in many ways. The music recorded here is important in the English choral tradition, but parts of the recording do not do the works justice.

The disc starts well: Vaughan Williams's Mass in G is a fantastic work, and the performance by the Choir of King's College Cambridge is fine. David Willcocks yet again demonstrates why he is one of the finest conductors of choral music and one of the finest choir trainers of the latter part of the twentieth century. The choir's diction, tone, intonation, clarity, blend and intelligence are explemplary. The result is a recording of power, emotion and sensitivity.

The second half of the CD is made up of King's performing works by Bax and Finzi. ... Read More:

Used Price: £5.90

A beautifully shaded performance by Tomlinson and Burgess, extracting the utmost from the text. Throughout, Tomlinson plays Bluebeard with subtlety: the menace in the query 'Frightened?' when the first doors are opened is conveyed in tones of sorrow and reluctance. Burgess tackles her difficult role brilliantly, catching both the petulance when Bluebeard refuses to give her the keys, and her love for Bluebeard, this man she is attempting to understand. The highest praise also for Farnes, who brings out the bittersweet and very Hungarian qualities of Bartok's score.

As for the choice of English: there are admitted problems in translating a text that has to be expressed in Hungarian speech rhythms to fit the music. There are occasionally ... Read More:
