We’re delighted to announce the release of our second CD, For the Fallen: Choral music from the time of the Great War. Featuring works by Mahler, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Holst, Stanford and Ivor Gurney, among others, it is a collection of beautiful music written around the time of the first world war. The war was the first major conflict to generate an outpouring of creative work from those who either fought on the battlefields, or were deeply affected by it. Our recording is a tribute to the memories of those who died, and a celebration of the musical response to the Great War.
The Signum Classics release has already featured on BBC Radio 3, and it is available for purchase as a CD (£11.75), as a digital download (£8) or for streaming.
Reflective, stirring and uplifting, For the Fallen is the perfect musical accompaniment for the centenary of the Armistice, and a gift that will give lasting pleasure.
