On this debut disc from the recently formed Phoenix Consort, which consists of current and former students of Durham University and is directed by its founder Adam Whitmore, the 19 voices give performances of superb professional quality. The 14 pieces that form the collection give an effective overview of the music of Alexander Campkin. Calm me, O Lord is hauntingly beautiful, while the soprano top notes of True Love have an ethereal quality to them, secure in intonation as well as with quality of sound. The harmonic dissonances of I saw Eternity are radiant, while the effective use of dynamics makes this a particularly poignant performance. The quirky effects of Dazzling Darkness, which include whistling and pulsating rhythmic ostinatos, along with atonality, add an extra dimension to it. All works are excellently paced and sung with deep sincerity; it is a recording of exquisite beauty. Highly recommended.
