Homeward Bound
Bryn Terfel & The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Orchestra at Temple Square, Mack Wilberg

[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]

Release Date: Friday 20 September 2013

Recorded in Salt Lake City in May 2013, this "event" record is set to thrill classical audiences on both sides of the Atlantic - and beyond. Welsh bass-bartione powerhouse Bryn Terfel unites with the historic Mormon Tabernacle Choir (MTC). Known as "America's Choir", and currently the best-selling classical act in the US, this extraordinary American musical institution was founded 166 years ago by American Pioneers, migrating at the time from the Midwest to Salt Lake Valley.

Many of the original Pioneers included Mormons hailing from Wales - a connection that Bryn will make through music and song on this popular vocal and choral programme. Features spectacular new arrangements from the pen of the award-winning MTC Musical Director Mack Wilberg.

Prepare for the thrilling prospect of the 360-voice Mormon Tabernacle Choir and a full symphony orchestra, united in song with the acclaimed bass-baritone Bryn Terfel - a unique event and a unique album.

"he's an eloquent actor as well as a singer, and you swallow every word he utters in Homeward Bound, a relaxed, warming collection...Terfel, most importantly, never sounds like a tonsil superstar standing at a mike...the great Bryn still has the power to make us believe." (Times)
