Rezensionen
,,Den auf dieser CD präsentierten - und vom englischen Choir of Royal Holloway mit äußerster Hingabe dargebotenen - Werken eignet durchgehend eine kontemplative Atmosphäre, die jedoch niemals in puren Schönklang abgleitet. Changierende, klangsatte Cluster bereichern die ohnehin reichhaltige Harmonik. In den besten der vorgestellten Werke entfaltet sich eine Suggestionskraft, die nur hypnotisch genannt werden kann." (Fono Forum, 03 / 2011)
Product-Information:
Royal Holloway’s debut Hyperion recording (of the Latvian composer Rihards Dubra) received a rapturous response from the critics. Now they have produced a second volume of Baltic delights, turning this time to Lithuania and the sumptuous music of Vytautas Miškinis, the doyen of current Lithuanian choral culture.
His music, while bearing identifiable Lithuanian roots, is a synthesis of different influences carefully shaped and moulded with an experienced understanding of choral orchestration. Like many other Baltic composers of the same generation, Miškinis takes an essentially diatonic approach but with much overlaying of harmonies and coloured cluster-chords. What makes the music unmistakably Lithuanian is the influence of two folk-song genres. The overall effect is luscious, radiant and exotic. This music is passionately performed by these talented young singers and sensitively recorded in a generous church acoustic.
Rezensionen
'[Miskinis] His music has a timeless and highly atmospheric quality. Textures and nuances are used with great perception … The effect on the listener is best summed up as being one of "contemplative meditation". Rupert Gough has wrought wonders with his Egham Choristers. Their tone glows warmly, with a firm bass line and bell-like top soprano and tenor lines. Pitching is spot on and climaxes are beautifully controlled … The sumptuous swimming acoustic of St. Alban's, Holborn, is perfect for this delicious music' (Gramphone)
'The clarity and translucence of Royal Holloway's young voices, expertly trained and throroughly preparted for this demanding job, ideally suits Miskinis' infinitely subtle art. Gough and his choristers are outstanding … exquisite in their hypnotic contrasts and folk-like purity' (Classic FM Magazine)
'Vytautas Miskinis might be the best thing to happen to choral societies since Morten Lauridsen … The Choir of Royal Holloway sing with excellent intonation and blend' (International Record Review)
