A Mother's Love Music for Mary CD

"A Mother's Love--Music for Mary" CD is the third UCJ album for this award-winning, world-renowned choir. They won a Classical Brit Award for the previous UCJ recording Renaissance, and have also received the Grand Prix du Disque for Handel?s Messiah, and the coveted Gramophone Award for Early Music. Directed by Harry Christophers, The Sixteen here perform a programme of music devoted to the Virgin Mary, with pieces from medieval composers Palestrina and Lassus, through Bruckner and Liszt, and to modern times with a World Premiere work by the Taize-inspired composer Margaret Rizza, Ave Generosa.
