Laudibus / Mike Brewer

 

Mike Brewer and his award-winning chamber choir Laudibus [the National Youth Chamber Choir] have unearthed some rare and precious gems in this recording of a cappella choral music by one of England's best-loved composers. Little-known works, both early and late, nestle alongside repertoire staples such as the glorious Mass in G minor, in a programme which highlights Vaughan Williams' indebtedness to both the sacred and secular instincts of his Elizabethan predecessors.
