Choral Lamentations with the 成人快手 Singers

The 成人快手 Singers are conducted by Peter Phillips in a concert exploring the biblical Lamentations of Jeremiah, including contemporary settings by Nico Muhly and Matthew Martin.

Peter Phillips, the founder and director of The Tallis Scholars, returns to collaborate with the 成人快手 Singers in a programme of settings of the biblical Lamentations of Jeremiah. Traditionally sung during the solemnity of Holy Week within the Catholic Church, these old testament texts have been the subject to many music settings over many centuries. Alongside iconic settings by the likes of Tallis, Brumel and Whyte are works from the 21st century by Matthew Martin and Nico Muhly.

Presented by Martin Handley, recorded at 成人快手 Maida Vale Studios on 13th January 2022.
