About

Settings of Beethoven’s letters to the Immortal Beloved and to his publishers, Schott & Sons, Mainz

Ireland’s leading vocal ensemble releases an album of works by Irish composer Gerald Barry, featuring premieres of two major works that dramatise key episodes in the life of Beethoven.

Chamber Choir Ireland has earned a reputation for its innovative programming and committed singing style, especially in the field of contemporary choral music. Crash Ensemble is Ireland’s leading new music ensemble; a group of world-class musicians who play the most adventurous, ground-breaking music of today.

Reviews

Barry is never predictable for long, veering off at alarming tangents, and unfathomable in the way he chosses to set his texts. The two monodramas based on Beethoven’s letters here always avoid the obvious. ... Full marks to everyone, including the Crash Ensemble, conductor Paul Hillier and the recording team.  David Nice
