Bernard Hughes: Perhaps | The Epiphoni Consort, Tim Reader

From 'Precious Things: Choral Music by Bernard Hughes' - Epiphoni Consort's new album on Delphian.

Devoted to Bernard Hughes's choral music and programmed in close collaboration between the composer and The Epiphoni Consort, this portrait recording reveals a composer for whom musical style grows naturally out of the provenance of his commissions and their chosen texts.

Himself a wordsmith, text setting and delivery are at the forefront of Hughes’s creative thinking, and Epiphoni, making a name for themselves in recordings of music by living British composers, are ideally suited to the delivery of Hughes’s diverse language, in performances that showcase their trademark luxuriant sound.

Stunningly beautiful in all aspects. I could not catch all the words and would be interested to follow the music with them.
