technical comment
Composer and conductor Bob Chilcott (born 1955) has been steeped in the British choral tradition since he was a boy chorister. A former member of The King's Singers, he is now one of the UK's most prolific and creative choral composers. His Requiem is characterized by a gentle atmosphere clearly modeled on Fauré, with a crystalline, reflective Pie Jesu at the emotional heart of the work. This collection of first recordings is beautifully performed by Matthew Owens leading the Wells Cathedral Choir, The Nash Ensemble and two superb young soloists.
