Tenebrae from the Ryedale Festival

Tenebrae are conducted by Nigel Short in a concert of reflective choral music recorded at the beautiful Ampleforth Abbey in Yorkshire as part of this year's Ryedale Festival

Mark Forrest introduces a concert given by Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short of music inspired by the theme of rest. Recorded at the beautiful Ampleforth Abbey on the edge of the North York Moors as part of this year's Ryedale Festival, Tenebrae's programme is built around Herbert Howell's profound and moving Requiem. It draws on a varied and contrasting selection of composers, from Pearsall, Holst and Sullivan to Cecilia McDowall, Caroline Shaw and Richard Rodney Bennett, creating a meditative and atmospheric evening reflecting ideas of deliverance and transcendance.
