Focusing on the extraordinary body of choral music produced for liturgical use during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, 'The Sacred Flame' explores the rich and varied ways in which European composers responded to sacred texts. Delving into a treasure-trove of music from cultural centres as diverse as Amsterdam, Antwerp, Leipzig, Milan, Rome and Venice, this collection features familiar classics by Gabrieli, Monteverdi, Palestrina and Schütz, as well as less widely-known masterpieces by Bach, Buxtehude, Hassler and Sweelinck.
All are performed in stunning new recordings by the Cambridge Singers at their sensuous and virtuosic best, joined here for the first time on disc by the instrumentalists of La Nuova Musica, rapidly establishing a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting early music ensembles.
All repertoire featured on 'The Sacred Flame' is drawn from the enormously popular European Sacred Music collection edited by John Rutter for the Oxford University Press Oxford Choral Classics series.
Recorded in the unparalleled acoustic of the Great Hall at University College School in London, and produced and engineered by award-winning producer Simon Eadon, the performances of these much-loved works heard on this disc are set to become definitive.
