Richard Canavan - Abbey Road Masters: Contemporary Voices (2022) Hi-Res

Contemporary voices and elemental strings, wrapped in electronic textures and cathedral-like acoustics of Abbey Road Studios. Surging with hope and endeavour, captured in breath-taking performances from London Contemporary Orchestra Choir.

The London Contemporary Orchestra, winner of the Ensemble category at the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards in 2015, has worked their way into becoming one of the world’s most innovative and acclaimed ensembles by incorporating their unique style into pop music, film & game scores as well as well-attended live performances.
