Deutsche Motette. Choir Of Gonville & Caius Colleg

Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, Geoffrey Webber; Choir of King's College London, David Trendell

The Choir of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and The Choir of King's College London are among the UK's finest collegiate and university ensembles. The two groups regularly combine efforts for religious services, concerts, recordings and broadcasts, both in the UK and abroad. Here, Delphian presents a stunning collection of German Romantic choral works that displays the many talents of this unusual 'superchoir.' Richard Strauss's sumptuous Deutsche Motette exemplifies Romantic choral opulence. Its complex polyphony is brought to thrilling life by this virtuoso cast of over sixty singers. The rest of the program explores the many facets of German music of the period. The singing throughout demonstrates the musical intensity, imagination and understanding of period style that are hallmarks of both choirs' work.
