著名的声乐团体Voces 8，通过在Decca Classics发行的全新专辑“ Enchanted Isle”，带领听众在英国音乐界进行光荣之旅。录音的曲目种类繁多，从约翰·塔文纳John Tavener 和托马斯·阿德斯Thomas Adès 到Radiohead和Enya，再加上民间音乐。还有世界首演唱片以及热门电视节目《权力的游戏》和《哈利游戏》中的音乐。
除了永恒的民歌之外，新专辑还包括Radiohead的“ Pyramid Song”（来自乐队的第五张录音室专辑Amnesiac）。在音色，竖琴和弦乐方面都具有新的意义。 Voces 8还收录了《权力的游戏》中的“卡斯塔米尔之雨”。这是The National和SigurRós首次为HBO系列录制的作品。奥斯汀·温托里Austin Wintory 创作的格莱美提名视频游戏《旅途》（Journey）中还有“我为此而生”，而英国电视剧《哈利的游戏》（Harry's Game）中的恐怖主题最初由爱尔兰乐队克兰纳德Clannad 创作和表演。
Voces8将他们独特的人声，带入了不列颠群岛各地的民谣中。从凯尔特人的经典作品《丹尼男孩》和《分手玻璃》到《卡里克弗格斯》，其中包括令人惊讶的年轻爱尔兰歌手西贝亚尔（他以传统的肖恩·诺斯风格演唱） 。这张专辑还远至被遗弃的苏格兰圣基尔达岛St Kilda，最近发现的曲调 “Soay”由英国作曲家丽贝卡·戴尔Rebecca Dale 进行了新的编曲，其中包括一个凄美的大提琴独奏。专辑中出现的其他苏格兰音乐还有拉脱维亚合唱作曲家ēriks Ešenvalds 安排的“我的爱就像一朵红红的玫瑰”，以及Voces 8自己的男高音Blake Morgan安排的Dougie MacLean的“ Caledonia”。
新专辑有两首全球首发唱片：Voces 8委托年轻的英国作曲家托比·黑森Toby Hession 撰写无伴奏合唱新作品《她在美丽中漫步》；还有美国作曲家丹·佛雷斯特Dan Forrest 的新专辑《太阳永不言说》的首次录制，这是合唱团和独奏大提琴的激动人心的作品。美国合唱作家杰克·鲁纳斯塔德Jake Runestad 还在专辑“ Let My Love Be Heard”中演出，这是19世纪英国诗人阿尔弗雷德·诺耶斯Alfred Noyes 的作品。
专辑中有很多有力的合唱作品，包括“ Agnus Dei”，塞缪尔·巴伯（Samuel Barber）自己创作的“ Adagio for Strings”，约翰·塔文纳（John Tavener）的“为雅典娜之歌”（Song for Athene），莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》摘录以及传统的东正教礼仪，以及托马斯·阿德斯（ThomasAdès）的“ O Albion” –他的弦乐四重奏Arcadiana首次对此乐章进行了编曲，并改编自William Blake于18世纪的诗作《阿尔比恩的女儿的幻象》。
这些令人回味的歌曲合在一起，使当代的目光投向了起伏的丘陵和绿色山谷，崎曲的mountains 山坡以及“魔法岛”的隐蔽村庄，这些都是由Voces 8以其独特，精美的风格演奏的。

Celebrated vocal group VOCES8 take listeners on a glorious journey through the musical landscape of Britain with their brand new album ‘Enchanted Isle’, released on Decca Classics. The recording features a broad range of music from John Tavener and Thomas Adès to Radiohead and Enya, interspersed with folk tunes, world premiere recordings and music from hit TV shows Game of Thrones and Harry’s Game.
Alongside timeless folk songs are modern hits, the new album includes Radiohead’s ‘Pyramid Song’ (from the band’s fifth studio album Amnesiac) which takes on a new dimension in this arrangement for voices, harp and strings. VOCES8 also cover ‘The Rains of Castamere’ from Game of Thrones – a piece which was first recorded for the HBO series by The National and Sigur Rós. There is also ‘I Was Born For This’ from the Grammy-nominated video game score Journey, composed by Austin Wintory, and the haunting theme from British TV drama Harry’s Game – originally written and performed by Irish band Clannad.
VOCES8 bring their distinctive vocals to folk tunes from around the British Isles – from Celtic classics ‘Danny Boy’ and ‘The Parting Glass’ to ‘Carrickfergus’, featuring the astonishing young Irish singer Sibéal (who sings in the traditional sean-nós style). The album also reaches as far afield as the abandoned Scottish island of St Kilda, with the recently-discovered tune ‘Soay’ – in a new arrangement by British composer Rebecca Dale, which includes a poignant cello solo. Other Scottish tunes to appear on the album are ‘My Luve is Like a Red Red Rose’ arranged by Latvian choral composer ēriks Ešenvalds, and ‘Caledonia’ by Dougie MacLean, arranged by VOCES8’s own tenor Blake Morgan.
There are two world premiere recordings on the new album: VOCES8 commissioned young English composer Toby Hession to write a new a cappella choral work ‘She Walks in Beauty’; and there’s the debut recording of a new arrangement of ‘The Sun Never Says’ by American composer Dan Forrest – a stirring work for choir and solo cello. Fellow American choral writer Jake Runestad also features on the album with ‘Let My Love Be Heard’ – a setting of a text by English 19th century poet Alfred Noyes.
Completing the album are powerful choral pieces including ‘Agnus Dei’, Samuel Barber’s own arrangement of his Adagio for Strings, John Tavener’s ‘Song for Athene’, featuring excerpts from Shakespeare’s Hamlet alongside the traditional Orthodox liturgy, and ‘O Albion’ by Thomas Adès – the first ever arrangement of this movement from his string quartet, Arcadiana, set to text from William Blake’s 18th century poem ‘Visions of the Daughters of Albion’.
Together, this evocative collection of songs casts a contemporary eye on the landscape of rolling hills and green valleys, rugged mountainsides and hidden villages of the ‘Enchanted Isles’, each performed by VOCES8 in their unique, exquisite style.
