Getty’s cantata offers compelling music in a shapely and attractive format. It’s certainly worth hearing The two outer movements depict Joan’s judgment and martyrdom (leading to a very powerful closing "transfiguration"), while the lovely central picture of the heroine making her peace with God offers arguably the most compelling music of all--by degrees intimate and moving. The performance recorded here features the excellent Eric Ericson Chamber Choir Soprano Lisa Delan has the right instincts for the title role as well as a sweetly innocent timbre As Joan’s principal accuser, baritone Vladimir Chernov sounds aptly weighty and judgmental Alexander Vedernikov and the Russian National Orchestra give [a] very committed performance of the score, and certainly Gordon Getty’s use of traditional harmony and his Romantic approach plays to the strengths of all concerned."
