– £10.99Flor Peeters was one of the most significant Catholic composers of the twentieth century, whose deeply spiritual œuvre incorporates elements of Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony. This recording celebrates his Latin choral music, a perfect assimilation of the motu proprio of Pope Pius X in 1903, which was unjustly neglected following the Second Vatican Council but is now sung in both Catholic and Protestant churches throughout the world. This album, which includes a number of premiere recordings, also features the popular Missa Festiva, to which Rupert Gough has added brass parts in line with those written by the composer for the Entrata Festiva. These dramatic works, brought to life by the Choir of Royal Holloway, are contrasted with eucharistic motets and the smaller-scale Missa In honorem Sancti Josephi, which showcase the full breadth of Peeters’ idiomatic style.
★★★★ ‘…the gentle liberty he [Gough] takes in adding brass parts fo the Mass brings something fresh and exciting to an already popular work. It is performed here with energy and vitality alongside a number of other Peeters works that hadn’t previously made it to record.’ (Choir & Organ)
‘The performances are superb. Gough directs his resources with consummate professionalism (as found on other recordings by the Royal Holloway Choir). The blend between voices, organ and brass is first rate. Special mention must be made of the organ accompaniments of Matthew Searles and George Nicholls… Very highly recommended.’ (Organists’ Review)
‘This beautifully packaged CD of his choral music is a welcome addition to the library. The dramatic Entrata Festiva gets this recording off to a spirited start. Brass, choir and organ are perfectly balanced and instrumentalists accompany the choir most sensitively. It sets the listener up for a special journey of some quite exquisite music… Highly recommended.’ (RSCM Church Music Quarterly)
