We’re delighted to be celebrating two BBC Music Magazine Choices this month!
BBC Music Magazine awarded it’s February ‘Opera Choice‘ to the new recording of Nadia Boulanger’s La Ville Morte with Melissa Harvey, Laurie Rubin, Joshua Dennis, Jorell Williams, Talea Ensemble and conducted by Neal Goren. Praising the performance for restoring a neglected work with depth and vitality, BBC Music Magazine wrote: “Neal Goren conducts the Talea Ensemble with unerring conviction. What might have been just musical archaeology becomes a living work.”.
Meanwhile, Cappella Amsterdam, joined by the Noord Nederlands Orkest and conducted by Daniel Reuss, was named the ‘Choral Choice’ for February for Igor Stravinsky: Late Works. The magazine highlighted the ensemble’s exceptional musicianship, noting: “This recording must contain some of the finest ever interpretations of these works: the choral singing, especially, is exceptional in its clarity and super-precise tuning.”
