Mar/Apr 2024
The singing is absolutely stunning, and the music itself (mostly) is right up there with it. A fabulous disc.

Bednall’s Siegfried Sassoon setting Everyone sang, sums up the essence of this album: ecstatic dynamic singing with sensitive, orchestrally coloured accompaniments and an unerring sense of architectural balance, aided by David Hinitt’s superb engineering, which allows every detail of Ely’s cavernous acoustic to be heard.
