GIUSEPPE VERDI
Verdi: Opera Choruses Slovak Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra, Oliver Dohnanyi [ Naxos / CD - released 10/Oct/1990 ] "The singing is crisp, the language is idiomatic, and the orchestral parts are nicely detailed. I was particularly delighted with the Trovatore choruses and with the bleak song of the Scottish exiles from Macbeth." Fanfare |
EDVARD GRIEG
Grieg: Complete Piano Music Einar Steen-Nøkleberg (piano), Norwegian State Institute of Music Chamber Choir [ Naxos / 14 CD Box Set - released 14/Jun/2019 ] "Steen-Nøkleberg is entirely inside this music. He manages to make the familiar pieces sound fresh, and the less familiar... are most imaginatively played" Gramophone |

Rutter: Psalmfest Elizabeth Cragg (soprano), Pascal Charbonneau (tenor) / Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, St Albans Cathedral Choir and Abbey Girls Choir, Andrew Lucas [ Naxos / CD - released 15/May/2016 ] The psalms of David have been a source of inspiration to composers for centuries, each text forming a poetic shape the equivalent of a gothic arch, and expressing a broad range of timeless emotions. Recorded here for the first time in its complete... |
W. A. MOZART
Mozart: Requiem (Sussmayr edition) Gewandhaus Chamber Choir / Leipzig Chamber Orchestra / Morten Schuldt-Jensen (Conductor) [ Naxos / CD - released 30/Apr/2006 ] "An energetic, honest performance of the Requiem, but one that lacks the spark that might make it really special" (MusicWeb June 2006) |

JOHN IRELAND
Ireland: My Song is Love Unknown Lincoln Cathedral Choir, Aric Prentice [ Naxos / CD - released 20/Dec/2012 ] "Here's an excellent idea: a whole CD of John Ireland's church music, which tends to be scattered piecemeal in anthologies. The impression it makes is very positive...the tutti singing is convincingly uninhibited." (BBC Music) |

If you don't know Markevitch the composer, this is probably the best place to start." (ClassicsToday 10/10 Jan 2011) |

Jean-Claude Casadesus and dramatic soprano Michele Lagrange give a suitably full blooded... |
J. S. BACH
Bach: St.Matthew Passion Jozef Mukk, Istvan Gati, Judit Nemeth, Ibolya Verebits / Hungarian Festival Choir, Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra, Gerza Oberfrank [ Naxos / 3 CD Box Set ] "A refreshingly lithe and young sounding Evangelist, Jósef Mukk, leads a team of Hungarian soloists with fresh clear voices" Penguin Guide |
BENJAMIN BRITTEN
A Ceremony Of Carols / Friday Afternoons / Three Two-part songs New London Children's Choir, Ronald Corp [ Naxos / CD - released 1/May/2012 ] "Ronald Corp directs bright, refreshing performances of a delightful collection of Britten choral pieces... A splendid bargain." - The Penguin Guide |

MICHAEL HAYDN
Haydn: Missa Sancti Nicolai Tolentini St Albans Cathedral Girls Choir, Lawes Baroque Players, Tom Winpenny [ Naxos / CD - released 4/Dec/2020 ] Michael Haydn's colourful and inventive music is uplifting and expressive in equal measure, but his music has been eclipsed by that of his elder brother Joseph, and by Mozart.
