About

“Benjamin Britten had a rare genius for setting words to music, becoming one of the most successful choral composers of the 20th Century ... Voices and organ make a mystical union, spotlighting their sonorous incompatibilities”

“Once again the composer extracts a first-rate performance” (Rejoice in the Lamb)

“choral singing of such quality ... balance of the recording ... exceptionally life-like and satisfactory, and the sound as good as I have heard [Gloriana Dances] ... no carol is more perfect in its simplicity than his Hymn to the Virgin ... I also enjoy Britten's church music from New College, Oxford, directed by David Lumsden. This includes the Hymn to St Cecilia.” – Gramophone

Recorded 1961-1978
