James Whitbourn: Luminosity
5th February 2010
The recording features the Oxford-based chamber choir Commotio conducted by Matthew Berry and presents a portrait of Whitbourn’s choral music and his distinctive yet accessible musical style.
The works included range from the monumental Magnificat written for King’s College, Cambridge, to Luminosity, a large-scale work for chorus and instruments which fuses Indian and Western traditions.
Listen to an interview with James Whitbourn on the NAXOS blog.
