Listen just once to this highly entertaining CD and it is certain to become one of your firm favourites. Emma Kirkby is surely one of the World’s finest sopranos: enjoy the bell-like purity of her voice with the amazing Wells Cathedral Choir (accompanied by organ, brass ensemble and orchestra).
The definitive UK magazine The Gramophone said
“This superb choral record includes Handel’s Zadok the Priest, Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus and a sublime performance of his Laudate Dominum. The Holy City – a rarely-heard treasure – appears alongside Verdi’s Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, Parry’s Jerusalem, and I was Glad; excerpts from Handel’s Messiah and all three verses of God Save the Queen!”
We are sure you will agree this is one of the most enjoyable choral concerts you have ever heard.
