Bernstein’s 'Chichester psalms', in the original Hebrew, are an eruption of joy: dynamic and irrepressible, beautiful and menacing. Bernstein’s contemporary Copland reaches back to the creation of all things in the audacious 'In the beginning', which leads us to other startling music of myth and creation by Arvo Pärt and Sarah Rimkus.Along the way, there's also Lassus, with a remarkable setting of the famous opening of the Gospel of John ('In the beginning was the Word'), along with Rachmaninov, in an extract from his famous 'All-night vigil'.
A feast of creation, with the New Cambridge Singers and top-class soloists.
