Bernstein: Chichester Psalms

In 1964, Leonard Bernstein was commissioned by the Cathedrals of Chichester and Salisbury to compose a setting from the book of Psalms. The result was his Chichester Psalms, the work in which Bernstein rediscovered tonality after a brief foray into serialism.

Charles Hazlewood and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales explore this serene masterpiece together with the Chamber Choir of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and counter-tenor, William Towers.
