About this release

Toccata’s product page explains that the third volume in their Hans Gál choral series presents a variety of settings for mixed, women’s and men’s voices, sometimes accompanied by piano or chamber ensemble. These part‑songs and motets reveal Gál’s flair for vocal writing and his ability to mix Viennese lyricism with English texts. The label emphasises that these works span several decades and illustrate Gál’s continuing adherence to classical values rather than fashionable trends.
