This disc appears on The Sixteen’s own label and is the sixth that they have recently produced. The very sad demise of Collins Classics in 1998 left quite a hole in Contemporary British music’s available market. The label was the home for a lot of Britten as well as Maxwell Davies and Birtwistle. Harry Christophers and The Sixteen have acquired their Collins recordings and, repackaging them, are enabling new listeners to hear the superb music they recorded in the 90s and enable us to hear this magnificent choir at their very best. This disc is a gem and if you did not obtain it first time around now you can get it at bargain price. |
