Recensie



Na hun debuutalbum Upheld by stilness met muziek van William Byrd, brengt het Britse vocaal ensemble ORA haar tweede album Refuge from the Flames uit. ORA, opgericht in 2014, denkt dat we ons in een tweede gouden eeuw van korale muziek bevinden. ORA (uitgerust met uitstekende stemmen) combineert de oude polyfonische muziek met werken van hedendaagse componisten, die de techniek van de oude meesters gebruiken. Het programma opent met een prachtige vertolking van het Miserere (psalm 51) van Gregonio Allegri. Deze boetepsalm mocht vanwege haar verpletterde schoonheid alleen in het Vaticaan wordt gezongen. Vlak voor zijn dood schreef boeteprediker Girolamo Savonarola Infelix ego, dat door William Byrd van muziek werd voorzien. Voor ORA schrijft Eriks Ešenvalds een indrukwekkende hedendaagse versie. Het programma besluit met het Miserere van James MacMilan.

ORA, Suzi Digby



Following the stunning success of their best-selling debut, Suzi Digby’s crack vocal ensemble ORA presents their new album: ‘Refuge from the Flames’. Dedicated to the legacy of Girolamo Savonarola, 15th century Dominican and religious reformer, this new CD further showcases ORA's commitment to bringing together Renaissance choral masterpieces and commissioned reflections from contemporary composers. ORA bring a wealth of experience that gilds these pieces, both new and old, into the lustrous works of art they truly are.

“We begin and end this second ORA album with two contrasting settings of the Miserere mei (Psalm 50, Vulgate). Over the centuries this text has inspired reflections by many Christian writers, none more influential than those by Girolamo Savonarola, and we have devoted much of this album to his extraordinary legacy. Central to the recording is Savonarola’s meditation on the psalm, 'Infelix Ego', written shortly before his execution. We present it here in William Byrd’s justly famous setting, and in a newly commissioned masterpiece by the Latvian composer Eriks Ešenvalds.” Suzi Digby OBE [artistic director & conductor]
