Soloists, English Northern Philharmonia, Diego Masson - Robert Saxton: Caritas/ Ancora

Robert Saxton's opera Caritas - based on Arnold Wesker's drama about a walled-up anchoress of the 13th century - alongside his Violin Concerto, Music to Celebrate the Resurrection, In the Beginning and the set of choral motets I Will Awake the Dawn.

These recordings were originally released on Collins Classics. Reissued with funding from Arts Council England.

Reviews

"NMC's Ancora series, salvaging deleted recordings, does Saxton proud with this double set ... The first disc comprises four works, each a journey from darkness to light: Music To Celebrate the Resurrection begins with a crash and proceeds through sinous argument to a sunburst of octave Es."
The Sunday Times 2004
