A Ceremony of Carols Benjamin Britten | Harry Christophers The Sixteen | Stock Code: bmcd034
 |
|
A Ceremony of Carols Benjamin Britten Britten's A Ceremony of Carols is a masterpiece composed on board ship as Britten returned to England from the U.S.A. in 1948, a touching evocation of boyhood lost but never forgotten. A Boy was Born is a work that first made Britten famous, based on a theme and variations of astonishing ingenuity. The Missa Brevis, written for the boys of Westminster Cathedral, is a gem that in some ways looks forward to the War Requiem which came two years later. Deutsche Schallplattenkritik ".. a disc of exceptional quality, reinforcing The Sixteen's reputation as one of the finest choirs of our day . this is a performance that works to extraordinary effect ."

Henry Purcell & James MacMillan Bright Orb of Harm | Harry Christophers The Sixteen | Stock Code: bmcd030
 |
| Henry Purcell & James MacMillan
Bright Orb of Harmony To celebrate their thirtieth anniversary, the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Henry Purcell's birth (1659) and James MacMillan's fiftieth birthday (16 July 2009), The Sixteen recorded live at the first concert on the 2009 Choral Pilgrimage a brand new disc of music dedicated to these most innovative of British composers. Purcell's extraordinary use of harmony sounds as modern today as it must have sounded in the seventeenth century. Putting his heartfelt Funeral Sentences alongside James MacMillan's powerfully emotive A Child's Prayer, written in memory of the Dunblane Tragedy, and his hauntingly beautiful O bone Jesu (a piece originally commissioned by The Sixteen) will give the listener the chance to experience the true power of this music.
