About this item
Product Description
This recording brings together eleven leading composers whose origins in or strong associations with Canada are manifest in their central position in Canadian musical life. In a program through which the power of tradition and faith flows strongly, themes are explored ranging from paradise and heavenly fulfillment to tragic loss; and from timeless hymn and psalm texts to an exploration of the brevity of human existence in the title work, I Saw Eternity. One of the finest chamber choirs in Canada and beyond, the Elora Festival Singers' 'must-have' (Gramophone) program of Eric Whitacre (8.559677) is just one of their many acclaimed recordings.
Review
The Elora Festival Singers, a professional, 25-member chamber chorale, can stand alongside the world's best, as is demonstrated again on this endearing album, issued by Naxos under its Canadian Classics banner. On their latest disc, the choir is impeccably balanced and precise, while also producing a warm, gracefully shaped musical arc in each phrase.
Recorded in the warm acoustic of St. John's Church in Elora, the album is a collection of Edison's favourite sacred and contemplative secular pieces. It just so happens that this is 100 per cent Canadian content, some of it commissioned by Edison and the Elora Festival Singers.
The 12 composers each bring a different dimension to the experience. It is music that can be enjoyed as music just as much as stimulus for personal spiritual reflection.
It's such a pleasure to be able to celebrate fine choral music, gloriously well sung, that also happens to be Canadian. --MusicalToronto.org, John Terauds, May 2012
