New Rutter Disc from DG

[kyjo]

After enjoying the Rutter disc "Distant Land" (containing orchestral works, a medium he doesn't compose in often), I thought it might be worth bringing up that Deutsche Grammophon will be releasing a Rutter CD called "Blessing", featuring harpist Catrin Finch, soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, and the chamber orchestra "Sinfonia Cymru". The highlight of the CD will be the "Suite Lyrique" for harp and strings. I am not quite so sure as to what else will be on the CD, but I do know that it will include Rutter's own arrangements of traditional Welsh folksongs (not sure if they are orchestral). The projected release date is November 6. I'll keep an eye out for more information about the contents of this disc :).
