Pre-Order: Carice Singers - Tippett: Unaccompanied Choral Music

This release from The Carice Singers, conducted by George Parris, brings together the complete unaccompanied choral works of Michael Tippett (1905-1998), marking the ensemble's debut recording with Signum Classics. Composed across the first twenty-five years of Tippett's career, these works reveal a composer whose choral writing draws on Renaissance polyphony and English madrigal tradition while remaining distinctly his own - rhythmically inventive, harmonically adventurous, and full of vivid word-painting. Long under-explored despite Tippett's stature as a choral conductor, this music is presented here with fresh clarity, offering listeners a compelling overview of an important strand of twentieth-century British choral repertoire.
