Each week, PARMA has the pleasure of not only releasing powerful works by our artists, but also seeing the positive impact that these works have on listeners. Read on for a selection of what the press had to say about the latest releases from Navona and Ravello Records.
“Crean’s treatment brings this bold figure to vivid life seventy-seven years after her passing and certainly fulfills his desire to honour her”
“Give a serious listen!”
Grego Applegate Edwards on George Palmer’s BREAKING THE SILENCE.
“I dare say that they could sing a shopping list and sound heavenly; in Gavin Bryars’s extended cantata A Native Hill (2018-19) they have music of extraordinary loveliness, which they sing superbly.”
Gramophone on Gavin Bryars and The Crossing’s A NATIVE HILL.
“the sound of the oboe in Succubus Moon bends and stretches and twists in startling ways, creating a suitably oppressive atmosphere for a work that pits darkness – spiritual as well as physical – against light.”
BBC Music Magazine on Eleanor Alberga’s WILD BLUE YONDER.
“I continue to be impressed by the excellence of this choir and their willingness to explore unusual repertoire and, when they can’t find it, to commission it!”
Opera Ramblings on The Crossing’s WORDS ADORNED.
Glass Houses No. 2 by Taktus from MIRRORED GLASS featured on Classical 24.
“Fighting to save the rainforest, fighting for equality in marriage rights, fighting for female respect and empowerment—the theme emerges in varied form throughout. That such issues are still very much part of the modern fabric makes Mack’s progressive works all the more timely and relevant.”
Textura on Evan Mack’s THE TRAVELLED ROAD.
