Digital Booklet

"A strong performance [of the Gloria from the Mass in G minor] from the choir of Westminster Abbey conducted by James O’Donnell, and they capture the power and confidence that emerges after the sense of mystery in the opening Kyrie. James MacMillan’s music doesn’t feel out of place between Vaughan Williams and John Tavener, whose Canticles for King’s College Cambridge get the kind of performance that would stay long in the memory if you heard it at evensong. Twentieth- and twenty-first-century additions to this living tradition; excellent sound."
- BBC Record Review
From established favourites by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Sir John Tavener, to recent works—including two premiere recordings—by Sir James MacMillan, this is an outstanding programme of choral works with strong musical and historical connections to Westminster Abbey and its celebrated choir.
