'An issue of the first importance. It unquestionably merits a place in every serious record collection' (Gramophone) 'Vast tracts of glorious sound' (The Times) 'These reissues epitomise the qualities that make The Sixteen one of Britain's outstanding choral groups: distilled purity of sound: impeccable ensemble and intonation; long-breathed lines. Harry Christophers takes an introspective view of Taverner's monumental Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas, producing a performance of untrammelled serenity' (BBC Music Magazine) 'Marvellous music…well worth reissuing' (Early Music Review)

Specjalne wydanie drugiego albumu pochodzącego z Południowej Afryki multiinstrumentalisty, porównywanego do Ahnoni, którego notabene 29-letni Nakhane bardzo podziwia. "You Will Not Die" to wpływy nowoczesnej, ambientowej elektroniki, alternatywy, delikatnego rocka oraz eterycznego soulu. Materiał nasycony silnymi emocjami, które mają związek z jego osobistymi przeżyciami. Nakhane jest gejem, a nie wszyscy wokół niego byli w stanie to zaakceptować. W aranżacjach pomagał Afrykaninowi producent Ben Christophers (Bat For Lashes). Nakhane inspirował się oczywiście muzyką afrykańską, także dokonaniami Marvina Gaye'a, Niny Simone, Ahnoni, Davida Bowiego, Busi Mhlongo, Simphiwe Dana, Mbongwana Star, TkZee. Do wznowienia dodano sześć wcześniej niepublikowanych piosenek, w tym remiks oraz cover.

In the autumn of 2010 CORO will release a brand new recording of Mozart’s Mass in C minor featuring Harry Christophers in his role as Artistic Director and conductor of the Handel and Haydn Society - America’s oldest continuously performing orchestra and chorus - with celebrated soloists, including Gillian Keith.In September 2008 Harry Christophers was appointed Artistic Director of Boston’s internationally-acclaimed Handel and Haydn Society. Founded in 1815, the Society premiered key works by Handel, Bach and Haydn in America, has won a Grammy Award and also has a place in the American Classical Music Hall of Fame. Harry has worked with the Society since 2006 and his inaugural concert as Artistic Director was in December 2009 with Handel’s Messiah. Mozart’s Mass in C minor is one of the best-known and most widely performed of the composer’s mass settings and is generally considered to be one of his greatest works and, as such, is often referred to as the ‘Great Mass’. Unlike many of his other works the Mass was not a commission and Mozart wrote it purely for his own pleasure. It is a remarkable union of musical vision and religious text and draws on Mozart’s skill for drama that made his operatic works such a phenomenal success. The Mass in C minor rightly justifies its illustrious place in the pantheon of sacred choral music.
