99 Words - Choral Works By Tavener & Panufnik

Sherlock, James; Voce Chamber Choir; Digby, Suzi; Barley, Matthew; Beale, Simon Russell

Voce Chamber Choir’s new disc is a moving tribute to Sir John Tavener, featuring a selection of works by him (many of which are previously unrecorded) and by Roxanna Panufnik. At the heart of the disc is the premiere recording of Panufnik’s 99 Words to my Darling Children, a moving setting of Tavener’s last message to his family. As well as the Voce Chamber Choir, the album features performances from cellist Matthew Barley, organist James Sherlock and narration from Simon Russell Beale. Voce is a dynamic London chamber choir founded by Suzi Digby and Harry Briggs in the summer of 2003. A diverse group of around 30 talented singers, they're well-known for their polished performances of challenging repertoire from across the musical spectrum; from major canonical works to traditional and popular music from around the world. They also regularly commission and perform new works from the brightest rising stars on the choral music scene.
