One of the most versatile musicians of his generation, Richard Rodney Bennett was at the forefront of British musical life for nearly half a century. This new recording from the National Youth Choir of Scotland's National Girls Choir compiles a programme of Bennett's choral works from across his compositional life, as well as a collection of charming folk-tunes and nursery rhymes for piano duet (Over the Hills and Far Away).

This is Signum's second release with NYCoS, who in 2011 became the first youth arts organization to receive a Royal Philharmonic Society Award. It follows their 2010 debut release of Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols and Elizabeth Poston's An English Day-Book (SIGCD228):

“This debut recording by Christopher Bell's NYCoS National Girls Choircould so easily have been just another recording of Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, but for two things: the wholesome confidence of the choir itself … and, the successful partnering of Britten's masterpiece with Elizabeth Poston's edgy and colourful An English Day-Book.”
