Choralis’ first commercial CD, In Winter’s Arms: Seasonal Music by Bob Chilcott, was recorded on the Signum Classics label, and released in Great Britain in August 2017 and in the United States in October 2017. Bob Chilcott himself served personally as the editor for the recording, and the CD and choir have received high praise from a variety of reviewers.
Works found on the CD include the first recording of Chilcott’s Gloria, a piece commissioned and premiered by Choralis, and of his eight-movement work Wenceslas, which tells the story of the benevolent monarch. Also featured is Chilcott’s My Perfect Stranger, a new setting of the Christmas story, and his lovely carols Jesus, Springing and The Nine Gifts. In addition to Choralis, directed by Gretchen Kuhrmann, the recording features Associate Conductor Todd Fickley as organist, Baritone James Shaffran, and The Classical Brass Quintet, as well as other instrumentalists and soloists.
The CD is always on sale at Choralis concerts, or you may purchase your own copy here!
