"The performances by the St. Albans Cathedral Choir and Royal Philharmonic are first rate ... Rutter acolytes will already be on to this, an exemplary collection that celebrates a composer whose work throughout his career has reflected the message of these psalms: hopeful, expectant, upbeat."

Andrew Lucas leads the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the St. Albans Cathedral Choir, the Abbey Girls Choir and award-winning soloists on this programme devoted to British composer John Rutter. Recorded here for the first time in its complete form, Rutter’s Psalmfest is a collection of nine settings for full orchestra as rich and varied as the original texts. The remaining psalm settings were written for special occasions, including the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011.
