About

This is a glorious and stunning CD. The Choir of Liverpool Cathedral here makes its first recording under its director David Poulter. The singing is of a high order and in the glorious acoustics of this famous cathedral the boys and girls together with the gentlemen put together a grand Choral Evensong which includes two full voluntaries played by Daniel Bishop before the service starts and the C minor Prelude and Fugue of Bach at the end of the service. This CD represents the fine and unique heritage that is a typical choral evensong sung at its best in a British cathedral and heard every day throughout the UK.

Includes Lessons and Creed.

Awards and reviews

February 2012

Choral evensong is not often performed on such a grand scale as this...while the boys are direct and focused, even enthusiastically gutsy at times, the girls produce a consistently softer, reticent, less vital sound...this is a welcome release from a choir that ought to be recorded more often
