Music reviews of John Rutter: Distant Land, The Orchestral Collection

Music Review: I've always felt an odd affinity for John Rutter's music
Rating: 4 Stars

Maybe it's because we were born in the same year, 1945, but I don't think so. At least, that's not all of it. Rutter, an Englishman whose reputation rests mainly on sacred music and a handful of classic modern carols, here presents a program of entirely instrumental music. In many ways this recording establishes him as a worthy heir of Ralph Vaughn Williams, Gustav Holst, and John Ireland, premier members of an earlier generation of English composers that included Frank Bridge, Frederick Delius, and Peter Warlock who also wrote carols (e.g., Holst's "In the Bleak Mid Winter," Warlock's "Adam Lay Ybounden," and Vaughn Williams's "Forest Green") and extensively employed folk materials in their compositions.

Rutter's "Star Carol" and "Nativity Carol" are rightly regarded as among the finest Christmas music composed in the 20th century. His Requiem and Gloria have been widely performed around the world, and his Mass for the Children has also been warmly received. Not especially noted as an instrumental composer, Rutter admirably demonstrates on this disc his considerable abilities in a non-vocal setting. His Suite for Strings resonates nicely with Holst's Brook Green Suite and Saint Paul's Suite, and his Suite Antique recalls Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances.

Very pleasant, if not essential, contemporary classical instrumental music. ****1/2.
