“demonstrates the choir's versatility …their freshness is an asset, and the extremes of expression … are beautifully caught”
September 2006
“…the choir, most atmospherically recorded in the Chapel, demonstrates its current health, with the trebles in particular wonderfully bright.”
“There are many choral groups performing cathedral music on CD and in the concert hall, but no matter how polished their singing nothing quite matches the experience of hearing our greatest church choirs singing their own repertoire on their own territory. So it is with this splendid CD: surely the
next best thing to being present in the sumptuous surroundings of St George’s
Chapel, Windsor Castle.”
