Choral Concert: California State University Fullerton Singers - BRAHMS, J. / HOWELLS, H. / MARTYNOV, V. / NYSTEDT, K. / PÄRT, A. (Nostos)

Specially remastered for Yarlung’s 20th Anniversary, using analog technology we had not yet developed at the time of the original recording in 2017. Music director Robert Istad is one of the most exciting choral conductors in the next generation of American music. Dr. Istad directs the Pacific Chorale as heard on Yarlung’s All Things Common, serves as president of the California Choral Director’s Association, and is Professor of Music and Director of Choral Studies at California State University, Fullerton. Rob has conducted the Cal State Fullerton University Singers for twenty years, and the ensemble returned ten days before our

2017 recording session from a successful tour in Russia, the Baltics and Scandinavia.

Yarlung’s 20th Anniversary gives us the perfect excuse to look back a bit and celebrate some of our earlier successes with outstanding musicians. We continue this series with Nostos, the inaugural recording made in what is now called The Soraya, an acoustic masterpiece of a concert hall in Los Angeles. Leslie Bigos served as our executive producer for the original compact disc, and we are grateful to Leslie for her continued support.
