R. Harvey: Easter Songs / Kuhn, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
These three new choral works on the Easter theme continue composer Richard Harvey’s creative collaboration with the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Swiss conductor Jérôme Kuhn. The texts are by Welsh/English poet and priest George Herbert (1593–1633), the Pre-Raphaelite Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) and the Irish republican poet Joseph Mary Plunkett (1887–1916). The Easter Songs were recorded in the stunning acoustic of the medieval Fortress Cathedral at Haapsalu, in Western Estonia. The three songs are performed by the 26-member Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, with an instrumental ensemble of two violins, cello and harp.
Shroud for a Nightingale: The Television Drama Music of Richard Harvey
Harvey: Kyrie / Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra
British composer and conductor Richard Harvey is a BAFTA award winner, a respected orchestral conductor and a virtuoso performer on a wide range of Western and exotic instruments. Richard has written several large-scale choral works, including his Te Deum, a complex Magnificat and the popular Kyrie for the Magdalene that formed a highlight of the music for the film of The Da Vinci Code. “Kyrie for the Magdalene is a stunning plainsong-inspired liturgical lament which the internationally celebrated modern choral composer John Tavener would be proud to call his own.” (Movie Music UK) This collection of original choral music is beautifully performed by the Latvian Radio Choir and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. Esteemed soprano Amy Haworth performs as soloist on the first, fourth, and eighth tracks.
