Their recent disc of Bruckner\\u2019s Mass in E minor and motets was acclaimed as a benchmark recording. For their latest Hyperion disc they turn to some of the most bewitching and unusual, yet well-loved, choral works of the twentieth century.\\r\u003cbr\u003ePoulenc\\u2019s choral music is a deep expression both of his faith and of his unique musical language. In the various motets, the music responds to the composer\\u2019s studies of Bach, Monteverdi, Palestrina and Gabrieli, but is always stylistically progressive. Prominently featured are Poulenc\\u2019s distinctive and often ingenious chord progressions. Each motet has its own delightfully etched personality.\\r\u003cbr\u003ePoulenc\\u2019s Gloria is one of his most enduringly appealing works. In some ways straightforwardly pious, it is also tinged with mischievous irreverence and a sense of rollocking enjoyment. \\u2018When I wrote this piece\\u2019, Poulenc famously recalled, \\u2018I had in mind those frescoes by Gozzoli where the angels stick out their tongues; and also some serious Benedictine monks I had once seen revelling in a game of football.\\u2019 This recording by the Britten Sinfonia, The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, Polyphony and the soprano soloist Susan Gritton under Stephen Layton brings out all these aspects in a classic performance.\u003cp\u003eGloria in G major: Gloria in excelsis Deo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria in G major: Laudamus te\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria in G major: Domine Deus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria in G major: Domini Fili unigenite\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria in G major: Domine Deus, agnus Dei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGloria in G major: Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalve regina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour un temps de p\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xa9nitence: no 1, Timor et tremor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour un temps de p\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xa9nitence: no 2, Vinea mea electa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour un temps de p\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xa9nitence: no 3, Tenebrae factae sunt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour un temps de p\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xa9nitence: no 4, Tristis est anima mea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour le temps de No\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xabl: no 1, O magnum mysterium\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour le temps de No\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xabl: no 2, Quem vidistis pastores\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour le temps de No\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xabl: no 3, Videntes stellam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotets (4) pour le temps de No\\xc3\\x83\\xc2\\xabl: no 4, Hodie Christus natus est\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExultate Deo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55142438240641,"sku":"830003","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61wH2AHNUhL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767616769","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/830003","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
