This CD is represented by John Casken’s settings of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis and the Introit – a commission by Durham Cathedral, is Michael Berkeley’s setting “First the sun then the shadow.” Psalm 105 is sung to various chants and Anthem is the well known setting by S.S.Wesley of Blessed be the God and Father. This is a series of many choir recordings made by Priory of the Durham Cathedral Choir stretching back nearly 30 years.
