Chandos has been a major player in the long overdue rehabilitation of Parry's music. Here his most important large scale choral works are available as a 2-CD set for the first time at the price of one full price disc. Parry's two finest and most popular anthems, Blest Pair of Sirens and I was glad, make an attractive coupling to his famous choral works. The 45-minute work The Soul's Ransom, with its sequence of solos and choruses, forms a broadly symphonic four-movement structure and The Lotos eaters; a setting for soprano, chorus and orchestra is performed by Della Jones, a characterful soloist. This is a full and atmospheric recording to match the incandescent performances. On its original release these works received 3 stars in the Penguin Guide, and consequently make a welcome return to the Chandos catalogue. 'The choral singing and the playing of the LPO under Matthias Bamert is magnificent, ably championing these deserved revivals.' - Classic CD Other releases: Parry: Complete Symphonies with LPO and Matthias Bamert - CHAN9120 (3 CD set) Symphonic Variations with LPO and Matthias Bamert - CHAN6610
