The Bach Choir is joined by four soloists and accompanied by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on this celebration of Charles Villiers Stanford's choral music. Central to his career as a composer, these selections balance solemnity with rapturous affirmation. The Resurrection was his first major choral work, written while he was studying under Carl Reinecke. The dramatic, at times almost operatic and Wagnerian Stabat Mater is a cantata with two purely orchestral movements suggestive of a large-scale symphony, while Song to the Soul contains some of Stanford's most exhilarating utterances, although it was never performed in his lifetime. David Hill conducts and leads his choir, recognized as one of the world's foremost choruses.
