| | Description: | Carol Of The Bells by Sixteen, released 1 October 2021.
This version of Carol Of The Bells comes as a 1xCD. - HARRY CHRISTOPHERSThe Sixteen contrasts traditional with contemporary in this choral feast of festive music. Bob Chilcott's sumptuous Advent Antiphons based on plainsong melodies anticipate the coming of Christmas and feature alongside Mykola Leontovich's much-loved Carol of the Bells, Richard Rodney Bennett's stunning Susanni and Eric Whitacre's shimmering Lux aurumque. Interspersed with the beautiful simplicity of traditional carols, this is a Christmas collection to savor. Harry Christophers stands among today's great champions of choral music. In partnership with The Sixteen, the ensemble he founded almost 40 years ago, he has set benchmark standards for the performance of everything from late medieval polyphony to important new works by contemporary composers. His international influence is supported by more than 150 recordings and has been enhanced by his work as Artistic Director of Boston's Handel and Haydn Society and as guest conductor worldwide. The Sixteen's soundworld, rich in tonal variety and expressive nuance, reflects Christophers' determination to create a vibrant choral instrument from the blend of adult professional singers. Under his leadership The Sixteen has established it's annual Choral Pilgrimage to cathedrals, churches and other UK venues, created the Sacred Music series for BBC television, and developed an acclaimed period-instrument orchestra. Highlights of their recent work include an Artist Residency at Wigmore Hall, a large-scale tour of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610, and the world premiere of James MacMillan's Symphony No. 5, 'Le grand Inconnu'; their future projects, meanwhile, comprise a new series devoted to Purcell and an ongoing survey of Handel's dramatic oratorios."Carol of the Bells - Christmas Carols" on CD presents an atmospheric and refined Christmas program by Harry Christophers and his renowned vocal ensemble The Sixteen. Known for their crystalline sound, perfect intonation and deep musicality, they bring a wide selection of traditional and modern carols to life, centering around the iconic "Carol of the Bells". Carefully balanced choral textures, expressive solo passages and sensitive dynamic shading create a festive yet intimate listening experience that works equally well as a contemplative background during Advent and as a focused, audiophile encounter with top-class choral art. The Sixteen's interpretation emphasizes both the spiritual depth and the emotional warmth of these carols, combining clarity of text with a luminous, bell-like choral sound.
Harry Christophers and The Sixteen rank among the world's leading vocal ensembles, particularly celebrated for their performances of Renaissance and Baroque repertoire as well as 20th- and 21st-century choral music. Over the decades, they have built an extensive discography and received multiple prestigious awards and nominations, gaining a dedicated international following for their unmistakable blend of stylistic authenticity and expressive intensity. Their Christmas recordings are especially beloved because they unite scholarly musicianship with immediate, accessible charm.
The label Coro serves as the home imprint for The Sixteen and was founded to give the ensemble artistic independence and the freedom to realize ambitious recording projects under ideal conditions. Coro releases are known for their high production standards, carefully curated programs and excellent recorded sound, often becoming reference recordings for choral music lovers. With "Carol of the Bells - Christmas Carols", Coro once again underlines its role as a specialist label for sophisticated vocal music that appeals to both connoisseurs and newcomers to the genre. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
