The Choir of Jesus College, Cambridge continues its critically-praised series of recordings with this album dedicated to British composers William Byrd and Benjamin Britten. Their respective careers were separated by about 350 years, yet they share one very significant characteristic: they were both, in quite different ways, outsiders. As a devout Catholic existing within an alien environment, a state which ultimately viewed Catholicism as the equivalent of sedition, Byrd was obliged to pursue a kind of double life, expressing his spiritual exile in music of emotional intensity. Like Byrd, Britten became highly regarded by the establishment for his artistic achievements, but prejudice regarding his homosexuality prevented his complete acceptance.
