Description
Praised by American Record Guide as the âgold standard for American academic choirs,â the Westminster Choir has performed and recorded with virtually every major orchestra and conductor of the past 80 years. The New York Times has applauded its âfull-bodied, incisive singing.â Musical Americaâs 2004 Conductor of the Year, Joseph Flummerfelt and his musical artistry have been acclaimed in the worldâs finest concert halls for many years. He was hailed by Leonard Bernstein as âthe worldâs greatest choral conductor.â This Westminster Choir College reissue of Heaven to Earth features Westminsterâs adaptation of Barberâs choral setting of his Adagio for Strings, foregoing the a cappella version for one accompanied by a small string ensemble. âBeautifully assembled collectionâ - Fanfare Magazine âWorld classâ - Classics Today
