Description
FHR are delighted to publish the two soundtracks to early music ensemble The Telling's very successful 2020 concertplay films.
Both have received much critical acclaim including:
'An austerely beautiful piece ... it really is wonderful, so do try and catch it.' (Tim Ashley, The Guardian)
The film Vision<\b> aims to give an insight into the painful visionary experiences of the medieval poet, philosopher and composer Hildegard suffered throughout her life, covering some of the core emotional moments in her life.
Unsung Heroine<\b> tells a story of a 13th century trobairitz (a female troubadour), called Beatriz de Dia through her songs alongside other contemporary troubadour plaintive love songs of France and foot-stomping
medieval dances.
'Siren-like voices ... an ardour to these performances that is hard to resist.'
(BBC Music Magazine on Gardens of Delight)
'imaginative and eclectic' (Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian, on Secret Life of Carols)
The Telling attempts to break new ground, where new writing/music collide. In pre-pandemic times, it had a busy UK touring schedule, giving 28 performances in 2019. The Telling has performed at Buxton International Music Festival, Music at Oxford, Little Missenden Festival, Brighton Early Music Festival, Keele Concerts Society and Totnes Early Music Society. Working with other groups including The Sixteen, The Telling spearheaded its own Liverpool Early Music Festival.
The Telling records for First Hand Records: its first album in 2018, Gardens of Delight [FHR68], was selected for a BBC Music Magazine playlist and its most recent album, Secret Life of Carols [FHR94], reached number 25 in the official classical music charts in December 2019. Classic FM Radio's David Mellor called it his 'absolute favourite' 2019 Christmas album and it was included in The Guardian, BBC Music Magazine, The Daily Mail and Classic FM's 'Best Christmas Albums' lists.
"unexpected delight from beginning to end, and really strongly recommended'
(David Mellor, Classic FM/Daily Mail on Secret Life of Carols)
The Telling's pool of musicians consists of leading early music performers including regular members Joy Smith, Giles Lewin, Jean Kelly, Clare Norburn and Kaisa Pulkkinen and the late great mezzo-soprano, Ariane Prussner.
