Renowned for their recordings of Tallis and Bruckner, the Tenebrae Consort, drawn from Nigel Short’s equally celebrated Tenebrae Choir, here bring the same perfect technique and miraculous sense of ensemble to 22 instantly attractive songs and arrangements by Bob Chilcott, Short’s colleague from their days in the King’s Singers. In an hour of exquisite singing we are taken from the seductive heights of En la Macarenita and Fascinating Rhythm to the dreamy romance of Walton’s Touch Her Soft Lips and Chilcott’s own classic song of love and devotion, Sun, Moon, Sea and Stars. Kick your shoes off, sit back and enjoy.
