Choir & Organ Magazine May - June 2015 Edición anterior

As the Three Choirs Festival celebrates its tercentenary, we trace how the great British event has attracted top artists and audiences over the course of its 300 years; I Fagiolini’s latest immersive music theatre project – Betrayal – brings a dramatic twist to the madrigals of Gesualdo; and a new anthology from Edition Peters opens a fresh seam of repertoire for choirs and their directors. Plus, the striking organ case designs of Suffolk pioneer Jack Penton; David Hill unwraps John Rutter’s Requiem as the composer approaches his 70th birthday; how a new Casavant organ has added a touch of chic to Montreal’s Maison Symphonique; David Goode turns his attention to pedal technique; Latvian youth choir ‘Kamer…’ explores past, present and future through song; John McCabe obituary; and Choir & Organ’s pick of this year’s choral and organ offerings in our Festivals supplement.
