Accentus’s recording of Strauss’s works for choir reviewed in the International Record Review last month



The latest recording of Accentus conducted by Laurence Equilbey in collaboration with the Latvian Radio Choir has received another great review in the International Record Review recently. Below are some highlights from the review.

“Choral music is a relatively little-recorded part of the output of Richard Strauss, so this disc of a cappella works from Naïve, with a Franco-Latvian alliance of choirs conducted by Laurence Equilbey, is especially welcome.”

“The soprano soloist Jane Archibald has some particularly exposed high notes which are well taken, supported by some superbly secure choral singing.”

“It’s a quite magical opening, with Phoebus descends from his chariot, and Equilbey ensures her forces are particularly responsive to Strauss’s dynamic markings.”
