Darkness into Light

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Vocal ensemble Anonymous 4 teams up with the Chilingirian Quartet in the 2003 album Darkness into Light, which intersperses medieval hymns with the music of Sir John Tavener. We hear Tavener's extended musical take on the Christ-as-Bridegroom theme, in "The Bridegroom." Also, music by Vernon Duke, including his piano concerto and vocal offerings from Judy Collins and Dawn Upshaw.
