Music reviews of Radiant Light - The Trinity Choir, BostonMusic Review: Fantastic Music-making!
The Trinity Choir's disc "Radiant Light" is a must not only for lovers of choral music, but anyone wishing to hear some of the most elegant and superb music-making around. This group of seventy-odd voices, based at Boston's famed Trinity Church, sings with pure, beautiful tone, incisive rhythm and a joy for the repetoire obvious in every phrase. Director Brian Jones has taken great care over every aspect of these performances, and it shows. The choir's keen musicianship and Jones' sensitivity to both text and music produces the most committed and heartfelt performances around. This is music-making which communicates! Although every item on the disc offers ample enjoyment, including Biebl's glorious "Ave Maria" and three pieces by John Tavener, the two which stand out for me are Patrick Gowers' "Viri Galilaei" and Richard Dirksen's "Sing Ye Faithful". Gowers' anthem is firmly rooted in twentieth century musical language. Filled with mysterious harmonies and dramatic outbursts, it builds to a tremendous climax before fading away to the misty realms from whence it came. The Choir handles this difficult work with style and elan and Jones' conducting keeps it driving foreward with a real sensitivity for the music's demands. "Sing Ye Faithful" by Richard Dirksen, late of Washington Cathedral, is another gem. Here is a joyous Easter anthem with a jaunty dance-like melody. A truly happy and festive spirit informs the performance-the musicians obviously love this material. In an age when choral music's appeal has waned, Brian Jones and the Trinity Choir have done much to remedy this situation. This disc is a pure joy. I urge you to hear it for yourself.
