Mozart & R. Schumann: Piano Concertos

Album review

The Choir of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in Montreal presents an album around the theme of isolation. "Distance" explores different aspects of isolation and silence: solitude, reflection, but also determination and "breaking the silence". The program includes several choral pieces ranging from Bach motets with continuo to 21st century repertoire for a cappella choir by Samuel Barber, Sir Edward Elgar, and many others.
The Choir of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul is one of Canada’s most advanced choral ensembles. The 24-voice professional choir includes some of the finest singers from the greater Montreal area. The ensemble, known for its warm sound and clarity of texture, is acclaimed for its innovative programming and diversity of styles. In addition to providing music for the church’s regular worship services, the choir also presents concerts and choral services including performances with the Montreal Symphony Players’ Association and Ensemble Caprice. © ATMA Classique
