'Tavener flavours each performance with easy sophistication and sensitivity to the range of emotions. The final Sing Joyfully to the Lord is exultant.'

Album information
Cappella Nova has a longstanding reputation of championing contemporary music, and its latest album Consecration is no exception. Comprising world premiere recordings in a programme specially curated by Sir James MacMillan, it includes a very personal selection of the composer’s recent choral works.
The sequence of five Culham Motets, written for the consecration of the Chapel of Christ the Redeemer at Culham Court on 9 December 2015, show MacMillan at his transcendently numinous best in an emotional and technical tour de force, setting texts of visionary and mystic ceremonial power. Consecration also includes MacMillan’s well-beloved St Anne’s Mass along with a fascinating collection of works written for family occasions: the weddings of two of his children and his father’s Requiem Mass.
This is the fourth instalment of Cappella Nova’s celebrated MacMillan series on Linn.

Reviews
'Linn’s cycle of Sir James MacMillan’s choral oeuvre continues apace, and this is a worthy addition to the series.'
American Record Guide
'The superlative performance of Cappella Nova is complemented by the refined performances of the soloists, tenor Graham Neal and soprano Rebecca Tavener.'
Musikzen
'With its idiomatic performances and its profusion of unrecorded music, it is a valuable addition to any library of contemporary choral music.'
All Music
'It sounds ethereal, like a mythical tale from days of yore ... Alan Tavener presents this music with Cappella Nova not only in his usual tasteful manner, but also in a gloriously radiant manner.'
