Notes & Reviews:

Benjamin Britten's sacred music is among the most engaging and original music of its kind composed in the middle years of the 20th century. New College Choir was among the first to recognize its quality, and continues to sing it with passion and panache. This new anthology (in 2 CDs) is an overarching view of his work in this domain, featuring favorites such as Rejoice in the Lamb alongside settings more rarely heard, the Hymns to St Peter and of St Columba, and the wedding anthem Amo ergo sum.
