Richard Rodney Bennett - Sea Change: The Choral Music of Richard Rodney Bennett

"...it's not too early to place this extraordinary recording at the hear of my 'discs of the year' choices for 2005." - David Vernier, ClassicsToday.com

"...it is harder to imagine a more persuasive and personal rendering of this charming music." - BBC Magazine

Among present-day musicians, there can be few more versatile than Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, and none better at everything he does: composing for concerts and films, playing the piano in contemporary music and in jazz idioms, singing and playing classic show tunes in cabaret. This long-awaited meeting of the most versatile musical minds of their generation has finally been captured on disc. For listeners unfamiliar with Bennett's work, this SACD will be an excellent place to start - his superbly crafted, highly-accessible music will appeal to collectors of choral music, 20th century English and even movie soundtracks.
