Bernstein: Chichester Psalms

Charles Hazlewood and the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales explore Bernstein's Chichester Psalms with the Chamber Choir of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and Counter-tenor William Towers.

In 1964, Leonard Bernstein was commissioned by the Cathedrals of Chichester and Salisbury to compose a setting from the book of Psalms. The result was his Chichester Psalms, the work in which Bernstein rediscovered tonality after a brief foray into serialism. Charles Hazlewood and the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales explore this serene masterpiece together with the Chamber Choir of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the Counter-tenor William Towers.
