Description
A suite of German motets, steeped in the music of Heinrich Schütz and the poetry of Martin Opitz. A winsome English partsong, setting Shakespeare’s contemporary Edmund Spenser; three angular Italian madrigals intercutting Gramsci with Dante; and an experimental score on a text of Yeats. A thrilling whirlwind of vocal sound, scattering syllables from Wordsworth’s Prelude like dead leaves in a Cumbrian gale. Such are the bewilderingly diverse vocal works on this album, EXAUDI‘s third dedicated to the music of English composer Christopher Fox.

Reviews
“One can readily hear why Fox and Exaudi have had such an extensive collaboration. The compositions suit the performers and vice versa in excellent fashion. Trostlieder is one of our favorite recordings of 2022.” Sequenza 21
“…the choir expresses yearning and pain. Juliet Fraser’s bright soprano at the top of its range almost tears at the exquisitely wrought texture.” “…In A Spousal Verse…there is an expressive intensity that belies the short length, helped by EXAUDI’s wonderfully blended voices.” Gramophone (Shortlisted for a Gramophone Award in 2023)
