The RIAS Kammerchor under the direction of Chief Conductor Justin Doyle has released a new label of choral music by Benjamin Britten, on the Harmonia Mundi label. The repertoire concentrates on some of Britten’s most challenging repertoire, and led by Justin the results have been praised by the critics. The London Times said “Under the British director Justin Doyle, the impeccably drilled (and accented) Berlin RIAS chamber choir bring to these supremely idiomatic pieces a gratifying array of rich colours.”
Deutschlandfunk Kultur gave a similarly positive review: “..wenn der RIAS Kammerchor singt, wird stimmliche Perfektion in Brittens Dienst gestellt.”
