The first disc in a new recording partnership between Hebrides Ensemble and Delphian Records presents Sir James MacMillan's extraordinary setting - by turns intimate and dramatic - of the Resurrection story as told in St John's Gospel. As at the work's premiere at the 2012 Edinburgh International Festival, the Ensemble and its director William Conway (the work's dedicatee) are joined by bass Brindley Sherratt in the role of Christ, and by a quartet of
singers from Synergy Vocals. A significant landmark in MacMillan's career, Since it was the day of Preparation … now inaugurates a series of recordings set to document Hebrides Ensemble's outstanding contribution to Scottish cultural life.
Gramophone Awards 2024 Shortlist
Shortlisted - Song
"Sherratt possesses that rare gift - a genuine bass voice that carries its lyrical, expressive clarity from its ringing high notes right down to a full-toned basso profundo delivered without a trace of muddiness..This is a true partnership of two experienced musicians at the peak of their powers." BBC Music Five Stars
"The highly rewarding result captures his drinkably deep bass voice at its peak. Teamed with the pianist Julius Drake, he offers a programme exploring themes of fear and death, with a final affirmative twist...Sherratt's final two numbers, both old-sea-dog songs, brim with warmth and acceptance." The Guardian
