The 91Èȱ¬ Singers, violinist Laura Samuel and conductor Sofi Jeannin
Live performance from the 91Èȱ¬ singers, violinist Laura Samuel and conductor Sofi Jeannin. Intimate choral works and a vocal setting of Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending.
The 91Èȱ¬ singers bring a richly varied programme to this live Queen’s Hall recital, starting with Frank Martin’s truly intimate Mass for unaccompanied double choir. It spent forty years in a drawer before being performed as Martin said he ‘considered it…as being a matter between God and myself.’ Laura Samuel, leader of the 91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra joins the 91Èȱ¬ Singers for two pieces; Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds’ Ancient Prairie and Paul Drayton’s arrangement of The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, with Meredith’s poetry underpinning the soaring violin melody. In between we hear a witch's spell by Norwegian composer Cecilie Ore and late works by Harris and Mendelssohn.
