Chor Leoni

Cypress Choral Recording, Catalogue No. CCR0604 (released 2000)
Distributed by SRI, Peterborough, ON
Recorded in Vancouver, BC

Chor Leoni's self-titled disc with the wonderfully orange jacket is a rich and sonorous collection of audience favourites from the Classical repertoire. It includes many of Chor Leoni's "signature tunes,” including Pavel Chesnokov's "Spaseniye Sodelal," the selection that helped us win first prize in the 2000 CBC Competition.

We are thrilled to have Brett Polegato, our first Honorary Patron, join us as soloist in Schubert's radiant "Ständchen." Other selections include works by Wikander, Luengen, Willan, Fauré, Strauss, Caplet, and more.

Contemplative, warm and refined, this is the perfect disc to enjoy as you sip brandy and sit beside the fire on a winter's evening, or greet the spring sun with champagne on a laid back Sunday morning.
