Sacred Choral Music

Philip Stopford wordt in Groot-Brittannië en Amerika bewonderd om zijn prachtig vormgegeven muziek, geworteld in de Anglicaanse traditie. Zijn werken zijn gedenkwaardig en kleurrijk, zoals deze wereldpremière-opnamen aantonen. Het grootste stuk op dit album is de Missa Deus nobiscum, een sacraal concertwerk met een sprankelende rol voor de sopraansolist die Stopfords compositorische vaardigheid toont door een reis te creëren in plaats van een opeenvolging van vaste delen. Elders, in stukken voor verschillende locaties en gelegenheden, is zijn muziek suggestief, filmisch en levendig feestelijk.

Opgenomen in oktober 2022, uitgebracht in januari 2024.

In My Father’s House

Opgenomen in februari 2017 en het hoogtepunt van vele uren nauwgezet orkestratiewerk In My Father's House is een cd met vele primeurs, hoewel het de tweede cd is van het prachtige Truro Cathedral Choir, na het enorme succes van cd Do Not Be Afraid. Opnieuw heeft Philip de handen ineengeslagen met het Truro Cathedral Choir - deze keer in combinatie met de 39 Boy and Girl Choristers (een primeur voor Truro) EN het BBC National Orchestra of Wales (mogelijk de eerste opname van een Cathedral Choir en BBC orkest).

  • 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
  • Classic FM listeners and their American friends may have found a new compositional champion.allmusic.com
  • 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
