Recordings

Visite à Salisbury pendant une tournée en Angleterre

The choir has recorded two CDs.

Rejoice in the Lord (12 21.17 - SM 62) follows the Anglican liturgical year from Advent to Christ the King through twenty pieces which sample the diversity of the music to be heard in English cathedrals and collegiate chapels. Works by composers as varied as Orlando Gibbons, William Byrd, Henry Purcell, C.V. Stanford and Benjamin Britten among others, dating from the Renaissance to the twentieth Century. Direction Christopher Wells, organ : David Noel-Hudson.

An English Christmas (CSM 0011) proposes a taste of Christmas in England, whose choral music while it may include works from composers around the world also demonstrates a tradition whose production is, if anything, on the increase, furnishing a rich variety of material including much written in recent years : includes examples by T.L. de Victoria, Elizabeth Poston, Harold Darke, John Rutter, Peter Warlock, Herbert Howells, Kenneth Leighton, Edmond Rubbra, John Gardner and Benjamin Britten. Direction Christopher Wells, organ : Paul Dean.
