Sacred Choral Music

Philip Stopford es admirado en Gran Bretaña y América por su música de bella factura, enraizada en la tradición anglicana. Sus obras son memorables y coloristas, como demuestran estas grabaciones de estreno mundial. La pieza más importante de este álbum es la Missa Deus nobiscum, una obra sacra de concierto con un centelleante papel de soprano solista que muestra la habilidad compositiva de Stopford, creando un viaje más que una secuencia de movimientos de piezas fijas. En otros lugares, en piezas para una variedad de lugares y ocasiones, su música es evocadora, fílmica y vívidamente festiva.

Grabado en octubre de 2022, publicado en enero de 2024.

In My Father’s House

Grabado en febrero de 2017 y la culminación de muchas horas de meticuloso trabajo de orquestación In My Father's House es un CD de muchas primicias, aunque es el segundo CD del maravilloso Coro de la Catedral de Truro, tras el enorme éxito del CD Do Not Be Afraid. Una vez más, Philip se ha asociado con el Coro de la Catedral de Truro - esta vez combinando los 39 Niños y Niñas Coristas (una primicia para Truro) Y la Orquesta Nacional de Gales de la BBC (posiblemente la primera grabación de un Coro de la Catedral y la orquesta de la BBC).

  • for the works of a man so young (b.1977) to easily fill two discs is an achievement in itself; to be fortunate to have a top-notch choir to bring the works such polished performances is an added bonus. Organists’ Review, May 2008
  • a fresh, heart-warming and significant addition to the vast library of Christmas CDs! Organists’ Review, February 2010
  • He has taken many texts you will know well and given them a new treatment, usually an improvement over the original. His two-minute ‘God So Loved The World’ is the equal of any.The American Organist, July 2007
  • Firstly, Stopford has a gift for melodies that reflect the mood and subtleties of the text; and secondly, his music is immediately accessible.Organists’ Review, May 2008

  • Philip Stopford has emerged as a popular and prolific writer of new choral music and is in wide demand on both sides of the Atlantic.

  • Stopford has a genuine melodic gift, his music displays fine craftsmanship and, crucially, he communicates directly with the listener.MusicWeb, April 2018
  • His harmonic language is uncomplicated and his choral writing beautifully crafted. Also, the simple majesty of his The Spirit of the Lord is, for me, just as profoundly moving as Elgar’s composition.Gramophone, August 2013
  • I was fortunate enough to be present when this recording was made, and it was immediately obvious that even in the company of the other wonderful works on this CD this was an outstanding piece [In My Father's House] - so very moving, and a divinely perfect setting for some of the most beautiful and significant words and sentiments of the Christian Canon. I am not a Christian, or indeed a believer, but if there were any one thing that might inspire me to become one it would be this.Andrew Longfield, Lyricist
