| |  | Great British Anthems
One of the most popular and versatile chamber choirs in the UK, the Vasari Singers have thrived for over thirty years, delighting audiences and critics with their passion, sensitivity and ethos of excellence – “one of the finest small choral groups of our time” Gramophone. This disc celebrates some of the great anthems by 19th- and 20thcentury British composers. They are masterful works, and a mainstay of church and cathedral choral repertoire. “Though Backhouse has female sopranos and altos instead of the traditional boys' voice, their timbre is always fresh and bright, and apt for this music...[a] very satisfying selection of anthems, essential listening for anyone fond of Anglican church music.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2011 “The Vasaris are perfect for such luxurious music - the glorious textural colours combined with the traditional church location make for a heavenly blend, and Stanford's unaccompanied Magnificat for Double Choir exemplifies their talent perfectly.” Muso Magazine, April/May 2011 *** | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

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. |
