in Choir & Organ (Sep, 2012)
This recording of a highly attractive selection of Bennett’s recent a cappella choral works and arrangements is as accomplished as one could possibly hope for from the ever-reliable BBC Singers under Paul Brough, their principal guest conductor. The opening sequence of four Chrismas carols provides a perfect example of Bennett’s refreshing musical language and supreme craftsmanship, and he is undaunted by tackling poems familiar to us from settings by other composers. The disc includes Serenades, written for the BBC Singers and which sets poems by John Skelton, and Four Poems of Thomas Campion, both dating from 2007.

Purcell: Dido & Aeneas – Monks
Dido and Aeneas Z 626 (Oper in 3 Akten) (Gesamtaufnahme)
Overture
Shake the cloud from off your brow (1. Akt)
Ah! Belinda, I am press’d with torment
Grief increases by concealing
When monarchs unite, how happy their state
Whence could so much virtue spring?
Fear no danger to ensue
See, your royal guest appears
Cupid only throws the dart
If not for mine, for empire’s sake
Pursue thy conquest love
Guitar’s chaconne
To the hills and the vales
The triumphing dance
Wayward sisters (2. Akt)
Harm’s our delight
The Queen of Carthage, whom we hate
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho!
Ruin’ ere the set of Sun?
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho!
But, ere we this perform
In our deep vaulted cell
Echo dance of furies
Ritornelle
Thanks to these lonesome vales
Oft she visits this lone mountain
Behold, upon my bended spear
Hast to town
Stay, Prince! And hear great Jove’s command
The sailor’s dance 1 (3. Akt)
Come away, fellow sailors
The sailor’s dance 2
See, the flags and streamers curling
Our next motion
Destruction’s our delight
The witches’ dance
Your counsel all is urged in vain
Great minds against themselves conspire
Thy hand, Belinda; darkness shades me
When I am laid in earth
With drooping wings
Monks, Christopher / Armonico Consort / Monks, Christopher
