Info zu Colourise

Die London Choral Sinfonia und ihr Leiter Michael Waldron werden bei ihrer neuesten Aufnahme von dem Bariton Roderick Williams, dem Tenor Andrew Staples und der Geigerin Elena Urioste unterstützt.

Das Album wird mit den Five Mystical Songs von Ralph Vaughan Williams eröffnet. Diese hypnotisch schönen Lieder gehören zum festen Bestandteil des Repertoires, wurden aber noch nie in dieser Fassung für Gesang, Chor, Klavier und Streicher aufgenommen – ein Arrangement von Vaughan Williams selbst. Roderick Williams, unbestreitbar einer der besten Baritone der Welt, liefert auf dieser Aufnahme eine hypnotisierende Interpretation.

Der Tenor Andrew Staples bezaubert mit seiner Interpretation von Lennox Berkeleys Variations on a Hymn by Orlando Gibbons, die ebenfalls noch nie zuvor aufgenommen wurde. Dieses Stück, das vor fast genau 70 Jahren beim Aldeburgh Festival uraufgeführt wurde, könnte ein heimlicher Liebesbrief an Britten gewesen sein, der das Werk für ein »lovely piece« hielt. Abgerundet wird das Album durch die erste Neuaufnahme von Warlocks Capriol Suite seit geraumer Zeit und durch die Stargeigerin Elena Urioste – den Orchid-Hörern bereits aus The Jukebox Album bekannt – mit einem exquisiten Arrangement von Vaughan Williams’ ätherischem Meisterwerk The Lark Ascending.

London Choral Sinfonia
was formed for a concert in the chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 2008. Since then, the LCS has secured a reputation as one of the highest-regarded and critically acclaimed chamber choir and orchestral ensembles, performing a broad repertoire throughout the season. A busy performance schedule throughout the year sees the group appearing at venues including Cadogan Hall, St Paul’s Cathedral, Kings Place and St John’s Smith Square.

Aside from championing many of the major cornerstones of the repertoire, the LCS seeks to champion new music, having premiered new works and recordings with numerous composers including Tarik O’Regan, Owain Park, Richard Pantcheff and Ian Assersohn. Recent premieres include former Composer-in-Residence Oliver Rudland’s Christmas Truce, with a libretto by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy.

Performance highlights include Bach Jauchzet Gott with Katherine Watson (soprano) and Crispian Steele-Perkins (trumpet), Bach Motets and Cello Suites with Guy Johnston (cello), Mozart Requiem with Duncan Rock (bass), Mozart Exsultate Jubilate with Mary Bevan (soprano), Britten St Nicolas with Nick Pritchard (tenor), and Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem with Matthew Brook (baritone).

Michael Waldron
began his musical training as a chorister at St Ambrose College, Hale Barns. After a gap year Organ Scholarship at Worcester Cathedral, he held the Organ Scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, for four years. Here he studied under Stephen Layton, during which time he was involved with the Choir’s numerous international tours, concerts, broadcasts and recordings. Since graduating, Michael has quickly established himself as one of the most dynamic and versatile conductors of his generation, enjoying a busy concert career. He has worked with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, Academy of Ancient Music, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Polyphony, London Mozart Players and Tonbridge Philharmonic, including appearances at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Cadogan Hall, Wigmore Hall and BBC Proms.

Michael enjoys an extensive operatic career, including shows and projects for the Royal Opera House, English National Opera, Buxton International Festival, Iford Opera, Opera Della Luna and West Green Opera.

He is currently Artistic Director of the London Choral Sinfonia, London Lyric Opera, Islington Choral Society, Epworth Choir, and has also held posts with Guildford Choral Society and University of West London Chamber Choir.
