Virtuoso saxophonist Christian Forshaw is joined by a consort of Tenebrae singers, in an ethereal sequence of penitential settings for Passiontide. Combining elements of ancient and modern to stunning effect, Forshaw and Tenebrae bring new colors and context to music by Gibbons, Tallis and Hildegard von Bingen in a series of new arrangements and compositions.
Described as “phenomenal” (The Times) and “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), Tenebrae is one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles, renowned for its passion and precision. Nigel Short has earned widespread acclaim for his recording and live performance work with leading orchestras and ensembles across the world
