The Choir of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle offers a sumptuous programme of jewels from the anthem tradition whose repertoire spans five centuries. Under the luminous direction of Timothy Byram-Wigfield, and in the luxurious resonance of St George's Chapel, the choir resounds with exhilarating energy.

"There are many choral groups performing cathedral music on cd and in the concert hall but no matter how polished their singing nothing quite matches the experience of hearing our greatest church choirs singing their own repertoire on their own territory. So it is with this splendid cd – surely the next-best thing to being present in the Sumptuous surroundings of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle." Organists' Review

 

"…demonstrates the choir's versatility …their freshness is an asset, and the extremes of expression … are beautifully caught" Gramophone
