COMPOSERS: Rátti
LABELS: Herald
WORKS: Veni creator spiritus
PERFORMER: Cambridge Voices/Ian Moore; Anne Page (organ)
CATALOGUE NO: HAVPCD 210
Contemporary Swiss composer Carl Rütti’s Veni creator, inspired by and using identical forces to Tallis’s Spem in alium, displays a fascination with number symbolism, and imaginative treatment of the plainsong melody. Cambridge Voices tackle the work’s complexities bravely, but the recording is not up to its spatial demands. Janet Banks
