Glory to the New-Born King
the most appealing of any cathedral recording I've heard this year. The boys' sound is very much brighter than that of many cathedral choirs - in fact the boys-only a cappella repertoire here...

Awards and reviews

December 2012

the most appealing of any cathedral recording I've heard this year. The boys' sound is very much brighter than that of many cathedral choirs - in fact the boys-only a cappella repertoire here is particularly accomplished...Rushforth paces the choir's performance with real tenderness and beauty.
