English Choral Music

With John Alldis, one of today's great expert conductors for this kind of repertoire, the illustrious Netherlands Chamber Choir once again gives a superb example of its versatility with this album devoted to some of the greatest English Choral Music ever written for a cappella chorus. Stunningly beautiful choral pieces, some of which have either never before (David Bedford's The Golden Wind is Drunk) or very rarely (Herbert Howell's Requiem) been recorded, and most certainly never on such a high performance level! A record that needs no further recommendation and undoubtedly will find its own way to the ears and hearts of all lovers of great choral master pieces and great choral singing.
