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.
