Description
Following an album dedicated to the forgotten Renaissance master Vicente Lusitano (Gramophone Editor's Choice, Der Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Quarterly Critic's Choice), The Marian Consort makes an enthralling leap forward to the present day. True to its core mission of expanding the vocal repertoire, A Winged Woman showcases the ensemble's commissions from a crop of the UK's finest composers - including seven world premiere recordings - with music by Dani Howard, James MacMillan, Electra Perivolaris, Howard Skempton, Chloe Knibbs and others. The works challenge traditions and tropes in imaginative and refreshing ways, bringing together a rich array of musical styles and textual approaches. As Perivolaris's titular work makes clear, this album puts centre stage the compelling work of some of today's most exciting women composers.
