Cambridge Singers - Cambridge Singers Christmas Album - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Two major works by John Rutter, form this album - Visions. Featuring Rutter's most recent piece, scored for solo violin, string ensemble and choristers, Visions was written for a past winner of the Menuhin Competition, Kerson Leong. The four movement piece is based around the vision of the holy city of Jerusalem, weaving in biblical texts which express different aspects of the vision. Requiem, one of John Rutter's most well-known and widely-performed pieces, was originally recorded by John Rutter in the 80s. Rutter felt it would be interesting to give a new generation of the Cambridge Singers (most of whom were not born at the time of the original recording) an opportunity to see what they could do with what is now a familiar choral work.

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California.

It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100.
