Imogen Holst: Choral Works


Duplicated from (harmonia mundi The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, Graham Ross and Dmitri Ensemble "Imogen Holst: Choral Works") Imogen Holst (1907-1984), the daughter of Gustav Holst, has long deserved recognition for her significant body of compositions, written throughout her life. After working as Benjamin Britten’s amanuensis (1952-1964), she returned to her own composing. Graham Ross conducts the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge and the instrumentalists of The Dmitri Ensemble in these world première recordings of a selection of Holst’s choral works ranging from 1927 to 1972, three of which have not been heard since their first performance, together with the first recording of her imaginative and skillful orchestration of Benjamin Britten’s Festival Cantata "Rejoice in the Lamb", made at Britten’s own request.

Imogen Holst (1907-1984), fille de Gustav Holst, reçoit enfin la reconnaissance qu’elle mérite. Reflet de son ample production chorale de 1927 à 1972, cette première mondiale confiée au Chœur du Clare College de Cambridge et à l’Ensemble Dmitri, sous la direction de Graham Ross comprend trois titres jamais rejoués en public depuis leur création ainsi que, pour la première fois au disque, sa brillante orchestration de la cantate de Britten "Rejoice in the Lamb", réalisée à la demande du compositeur dont elle fut la secrétaire de 1952 à 1964.

Es ist seit langem überfällig, das beachtliche Oeuvre, das Imogen Holst (1907-1984), Tochter von Gustav Holst, vor und nach ihrer Tätigkeit als Mitarbeiterin von Benjamin Britten (1952-1964) über ihr ganzes Leben verteilt komponiert hat, gebührend zu würdigen. Der Chor des Clare College, Cambridge unter Graham Ross und das Dmitri Ensemble sind die Ausführenden dieser Weltersteinspielungen einer Auswahl von Chorwerken (zwischen 1927 und 1972 entstanden, drei seit ihrer Uraufführung erstmals wieder zu hören) und ihrer einfallsreichen Orchestrierung von Brittens Festkantate "Rejoice in the Lamb", die sie in seinem Auftrag schrieb.
