In the 1960s few would have predicted that Peter Maxwell Davies would eventually write a set of Evening Canticles; yet religious texts have always been of fundamental importance to the composer, as this disc vividly demonstrates by bringing together sacred masterworks from both ends of his career. Tough, uncompromising and of surpassing beauty, Davies’ major contributions to the Anglican repertoire are given thrilling voice by these fearless champions of contemporary liturgical music.

“There’s no better introduction to the productive tensions that have fuelled Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s career as a composer…this new recording – performed with a high degree of competence by all concerned – is even more welcome than it would otherwise be. The Edinburgh choristers…make light of the music’s demands.”
“The Master of the Queen’s Music would not find many more sympathetic advocates of his compositions in all Her Majesty’s Realm.”
