Matthew OwensAbout
Of his most recent large-scale work, his Requiem (2010), Chilcott says he was initially ‘terrified by the idea’ of writing a work with such a weight of history behind it, but he has certainly risen to the challenge: his Requiem is characterized by a gentle, forgiving atmosphere clearly modelled on Fauré’s Requiem, with a crystalline, reflective Pie Jesu for solo soprano at the emotional heart of the work.
This and the other works performed here - all first recordings - are beautifully performed by Wells Cathedral Choir and Matthew Owens, the Nash Ensemble and two superb young soloists.
