Cambridge Singers / Aurora Orchestra / Leong – John Rutter: Visions – Requiem [CD]

Description

John Rutter’s latest major work Visions is a four-movement showpiece for solo violin, string orchestra, harp, and choir of treble voices, based on the theme of Jerusalem, the Holy City of prophetic imaginations. It was composed at the invitation of the 2016 Menuhin Competition and premired at a Festival concert in London’s historic Temple Church by Kerson Leong, winner of the 2010 Junior Menuhin Prize, and the Choristers of the Temple Church. They are joined by the Cambridge Singers and the young and vibrant Aurora Orchestra. Rutter’s Requiem has enjoyed immense popularity since it’s premiere recording in 1986. 30 years on, John Rutter takes advantage of advances in recording technology to revisit the work with a new generation of Cambridge Singers.
