Description:
The prestigious choir that won the top prize at the 2026 BBC Music Magazine Awards! Tenebre, led by Nigel Short, explores the boundary between sound and silence. A unique collection of vocal works by Jessica Ursoi-Horsley, where Islamic and Christian traditions intersect! Tenebrae, the world-renowned choir that just won “Recording of the Year” at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2026 announced on April 23, presents this highly anticipated release—their latest album featuring recent works by UK- and Switzerland-based composer Jessica Ursoi-Horsley. Through her works, which explore the themes of multicultural boundaries, language, and spiritual traditions, she depicts sound, silence, and the space between them with exquisite polyphony. Beginning with “Engelsmusik,” which draws on Rumi’s poetry and Greek Orthodox liturgical texts, the album’s centerpiece, the monumental “The 99 Names,” quotes Arabic and Aramaic texts from Islamic and Christian traditions. It features an exceptionally unique and structured composition in which actual recitations from the Quran intertwine with the choral texture. The album concludes with “thecycleofpeace,” a response to contemporary conflicts, unfolding a diverse sonic landscape that incorporates the resonance of the harp. This album, which presents complex texts that transcend cultural and religious boundaries in an objective and multidimensional way, is a must-listen for fans of contemporary choral music. Tenebre is a world-class vocal ensemble founded by Nigel Short, a former member of The King’s Singers, whose philosophy is “passion and precision.” In 2026, at the BBC Music Magazine Awards—the only classical music recording awards where the major categories are decided by public vote—the group achieved the remarkable feat of winning not only the Choral Award for their previous album *A Prayer for Deliverance* (SIGCD880) but also the “Recording of the Year” award. While the ensemble has previously won the Choral Award in 2012 and 2016, this marks their first time winning the top prize. *A Prayer for Deliverance* was highly praised as a “timely response to a modern world riven by division.” A review in the UK’s *BBC Music Magazine* noted, “There is a quiet strength within the restraint, unleashing a passionate intensity without a hint of vulgarity,” and the ensemble was lauded for their signature blend of overwhelming pitch precision and dramatic expressiveness.
