In all that Amemptos does, it aims to produce something unique - a little bit different from what has gone before.
Our first, internationally successful CD, “Words of Comfort, Music of Peace” achieved this aim by the very fact that such a project had never before been realised. This CD, released in November 2006, comprises short, specially-selected readings from St John's Gospel, with each reading followed by a sacred choral anthem related to the reading that precedes it. It was specifically designed for those people who, for whatever reason, are unable to hear great choral music based on biblical themes and it has now sold throughout the world. We are aware of the value that many blind or partially-sighted people have placed on this CD and we know, from the letters and calls that we have received, that it has been a source of pleasure and comfort to many in very difficult circumstances. What more could we ask?
Our second CD, “350 Years of Organ Masterworks”, containing a unique programme of some of the greatest organ works ever composed, was released in December 2007 and has already received much acclaim from all who love to hear "the king of instruments" - as well as a stunning review from international concert organist Roger Fisher.
More details of both recordings are provided on the "CDs" page, which we invite you to look at: simply click the link on the left.
Being small and independent, Amemptos has the luxury, above all, of time: time to think, time to plan, time to discuss, time to try things out without accountants breathing down our necks! – and time to get things right. We'll do our best to make sure that all our future recordings are unique and special - and of the highest musical quality.
Amemptos Music is based in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England, U.K.
