"... a highly effective work, well written for the voices, ably orchestrated, thematically coherent, dramatically persuasive ... Joan and the Bells is a fully engaging cantata, with its shimmering orchestration and vocal lines that are actually singable."
- Fanfare
"... features the excellent Eric Ericson Chamber Choir ... Vedernikov and the RNO give (a) very committed performance ... certainly Getty’s use of traditional harmony and his Romantic approach plays to the strengths of all concerned ... certainly worth hearing."
- ClassicsToday.com
Alexander Vedernikov and the Russian National Orchestra present this diverse recording, pairing Gordon Getty's cantata Joan and the Bells, based on the legend of Joan of Arc, with a suite from Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet. Soloists on the Getty cantata are soprano Lisa Delan in the role of Joan and baritone Vladimir Chernov singing Cauchon, joined by the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir of Stockholm.
