For their fourth recording for Delphian, the boys and men of Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum turn their attention to that doyen of Anglican church music, Charles Villiers Stanford. Alongside familiar gems from the Evensong repertoire, sung with characteristic vigour and freshness, the programme includes the six littleknown Bible Songs, each followed by its associated hymn. Amongst the soloists - all members of the choir - is Laurence Kilsby, 2009 BBC Chorister of the Year, making his solo debut on disc. “How does one bring freshness to 'Praise to the Lord' or 'For lo I raise up'? The answer would seem to be group experience, for Benjamin Nicholas's soloists all come from the ranks of the choir and they are on home ground with Carleton Etherington...colourfully accompanying...[In 'For lo...'] Schola's basses, always virile, excel in their attack...Buy this disc.” International Record Review, July/August 2011 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Sir Charles Villiers Stanford is a central figure in Anglican church music. His many settings of the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis are evensong for generations of choirboys and church-goers. This three-disc set contains a generous selection of Stanford’s sacred choral music—settings for Matins and Evensong, motets, anthems and hymns—perfectly performed by Winchester Cathedral Choir at its best, conducted by David Hill. “Hill and the Winchester Choir are superb. The choral tone is luscious, the discipline outstanding, the recording captures the sumptuous acoustics of the cathedral without blurring the musical details, and the performances are vivid and exciting yet carefully nuanced” American Record Guide “Superb performances, supremely fine singing, magnificently directed. A delight for Stanford lovers” Organists Review | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
