This re-release of Herbert Howells' Hymnus Paradisi and a Kent Yeoman's Wooing Song forms part of the new Hickox Legacy series commemorating the life and career of that great conductor. Mestro Richard Hickox's lifelong commitment to British music in general is well-known, as is his work with the challenging, intricate music of Howells. This disc displays extremes of Howells' emotional language - from the intense and powerful Hymnus to the sprightly and rather flirtatious Wooing Song - communicated masterfully by Hickox and his associates.
