Cambridge Singers, The Sea Change-Music of Rodney Bennett

Be the first to review this product

From the record label's web site:

"Among present-day musicians, there can be few more versatile than Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, and none better at everything he does: composing for concerts and films, playing the piano in contemporary music and in jazz idioms, singing and playing classic show tunes in cabaret. This long-awaited meeting of the most versatile musical minds of their generation has FINALLY been captured on CD!

For listeners unfamiliar with Bennett's work, this CD will be an excellent place to start - his superbly crafted, highly accessible music will appeal to collectors of choral music, 20th century English and even movie soundtracks. This SACD Hybrid Disc will play on all standard CD players but will reveal its full sonic glory on SACD playback equipment. "
