| 4.0 excellent | Bedex | September 30th 20 |
1hr20 of choral music may seem like an ominous listen (this is Nigel Short's version), but honestly this is so rich and full of ideas that it makes for a great listen through and through that never bores, owing to the lack of repetitiveness with loads of variety in voicing, atmosphere and melody. My only two real gripes are that, on this version at least, the bells on PoM I are mixed way too loud, and that some of the bits in English just feel a bit strange to me. PoM II felt a little less compelling than the rest with fewer surprises to it. My favourites were Footsteps and PoM I, which seem more tonally adventurous with scarce but great spicy dissonances and harmonies which I love, while the rest is perhaps more conventional - but no less good, III and IV generally having lusher, angelic undertones with less dissonance, although IV changes things up a few minutes in. Again, a great piece that never fails to entertain and that I will certainly listen to again. 'Fun' fact, the premiere of this in 2005 in London had to be delayed because of the London attacks - which is kinda fitting to the music, especially Footsteps. 4.15
