JERUSALEM-YERUSHALAYIM
new double album
1EMJOY
An oratorio for our times by Antony Pitts remixed with Biblical narration by David Suchet, Jerusalem-Yerushalayim is an extraordinary musical cross between Handel’s Messiah, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, and classic rock anthems, and tells simply but powerfully the Old Testament story of Jerusalem – in modern English but with ancient Hebrew names for familiar Biblical characters and places. Performed by TONUS PEREGRINUS and friends with a cast of outstanding singers and players.

THE NAXOS BOOK OF CAROLS
carolbook & CD
0571523250 / 8.557330
The Naxos Book of Carols is both very old and very new: a collection of carols drawing on centuries of tradition, but in new arrangements specially commissioned by the record label Naxos. Every generation musicians have added something of their own to the yearly festivities of Christmas, and even those age-old tunes and words which have stood the test of time have also been weathered by it: carols are part of a living ritual that is not concerned so much with authenticity as with sincerity.
