No composer alive today more completely embodies the Anglo-Saxon choral tradition than John Rutter, whose compositions and arrangements have enjoyed endless success around the world.
These illuminating performances are licenced from John Rutter's own Collegium label, taken from albums many of which have sold in six-figure numbers over the years. The performances can hardly be bettered, directed by John Rutter with his hand-picked choir, recorded in the iridescent acoustic of the Chapter House in Ely Cathedral.
