Laudibus, Mike Brewer

Mike Brewer and his award-winning chamber choir Laudibus [the National Youth Chamber Choir] have unearthed some rare and precious gems in this recording of a cappella choral music by one of England's best-loved composers. Little-known works, both early and late, nestle alongside repertoire staples such as the glorious Mass in G minor, in a programme which highlights Vaughan Williams' indebtedness to both the sacred and secular instincts of his Elizabethan predecessors.

“The finely blended voices of Mike Brewer’s Laudibus, an offshoot of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, provide much pleasure in this inventive selection of a cappella Vaughan Williams. Little-heard late motets mix with early strivings and that radiant response to Tudor polyphony, the Mass in G minor. But as the disc advances, a doubt arises. Mass or folk song, everything is sung with the same rapt reverence. Let’s also have a little iron in the fire.” The Times, 1st August 2008 ***

“Vaughan Williams… musical personality shines out all through this selection of sacred and secular a cappella music… Mike Brewer's excellent chamber choir Laudibus sings with beautifully blended tone, and good stand-out solo work… the disc offers must to discover and must to enjoy, and its altogether a treasurable contribution to the Vaughan Williams anniversary celebrations.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ****
