Simon Bell (organ) Winchester Cathedral Girls’ Choir and Lay Clerks, Andrew Lumsden (director) A substantial programme of sacred choral music by Gerald Finzi and Gustav Holst, sung by the Winchester Cathedral Girls’ Choir and the Lay Clerks in the third recording on Regent from Winchester Cathedral. Included here are most of the sacred choral works by both composers suitable for liturgical use, and features not only well-known works such as God is gone up and Lo, the full, final sacrifice by Finzi, and the exquisite unaccompanied eight-part Nunc dimittis by Holst, but also a number of rarely-heard or recorded works by both composers. Recorded in the glorious acoustics of Winchester Cathedral by one of the world’s finest cathedral girls’ choirs. “The girls are given solo duties in several of the these works. They rise to the occasion and are not inferior in musicality to the adult Lay Clerks. This CD should be welcomed by anyone who wants to go more deeply into Holst's and Finzi's oeuvre.” International Record Review, May 2013 |
