CD Review – Gold
CD Reviews Classical CD Reviews Fine Music Magazine Michael Morton-Evans
There’s no doubt whatsoever that the members of the Australian Chamber Choir are great singers, but listening to their recent release, Gold, I just wish they were a little more adventurous. Gold showcases the work of eight different Australian composers, ranging from Luke Speedy-Hutton to Sir Malcom Williamson, all of whom, apart from Williamson, are vaguely similar. The music tends to start pianissimo, usually with the sopranos, builds ever so slightly and then dies off again.
