MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: The English Anthem Volume 5
Choir Of St Paul's Cathedral, John Scott, with Andrew Lucas (organ)

[ Hyperion / CD ]

Release Date: Sunday 2 February 1997

"A constant pleasure is the sound of the boys' voices: these surely are the country's (the world's?) best trebles. It is, in fact, a magnificent choir, and, as always in this series, Andrew Lucas's playing of the organ parts, and particularly his registration, is masterly." Gramophone
