Richard
Pantcheff has established himself as one of the UK’s leading composers
of
Choral and Organ music, with a succession of commissions and
performances of his
work in major English and Scottish cathedrals,
colleges, and schools, as well as in
many churches in Germany and the USA.
A substantial proportion of his output is
published, distributed,
and performed around the world.
The
works featured on this CD were written in three places which have proved
to be
particularly conducive to musical composition: Whitchurch, Hampshire
(where the
composer was Director of Music at All Hallows’ Church from
1989-1993); Frankfurt am
Main, Germany (where he was Assistant Organist at
the Episcopal Church, from
1993-5); and Oxford, where he now devotes his
time to freelance composition.
