“From the majestic, nine-minute In the Heavenly Kingdom to a simple hymn-tune (St Osmond), Willan reveals a gift for writing appealing and perfectly proportioned music… Ever attentive to detail, Noel Edison draws from his singers immaculate diction, beautifully moulded phrases and a real richness of tone... All in all a disc which, in both musical content and performance, makes a thoroughly welcome addition to the catalogue.”
