Description
SDG731 | 1 CD (21 Tracks)
Release date: 5 April 2019
Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s personal curation of Easter choral music inspired by his family’s annual Easter play at his home in Springhead, Dorset. A companion to the Monteverdi Choir’s 1998 recording Once as I remember, which told the story of the Springhead christmas play. Structured around a series of tableaux, narrating through a combination of the different Gospel accounts, it is a dramatic retelling of the Resurrection story, employing disparate musical styles and frequent shifts of focus and perspective, all held together by the creative vision of a Dorset mother and her son.
“… the performances are excellent in every respect, as you’d expect from this source.” John Quinn, Musicweb International, March 2019
