Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - Paul Carr: Awakening [CD]

Paul Carr's Awakening is a striking four movement choral work, each movement depicting the seasons - Spring and Autumn Equinox, and the Summer and Winter Solstice. The orchestral and choral writing makes an immediate impression - it is powerful, lyrical, at times cinematographic. It is in the tradition of British choral compositions over the last 100 years. The libretto is Stephen Feltham. Awakening is a modern classic, an accessible and striking addition to the British choral repertoire.
