About

Trinity Boys Choir is one of the busiest and most successful ensembles of its kind. The young singers perform regularly at the concert and opera houses in Milan, Paris, and London, where they have appeared alongside the great stars of the music world, including Sir Eliot Gardiner and his Monteverdi Choir. For ‘Candlemas’, the ambitious choir have put together an inspiring programme: assisted by musicologists and composers, Nicholas Ludford’s (1485-1557) Missa Dominica was edited meticulously and is provided with a fitting context on this recording by medieval vocal music as well as contemporary works. This disc is not only a real asset for music scholarship but, first and foremost, a true feast for listeners: the singers’ brilliant voices merge beautifully with the sound of the organ and are enriched with additional tone-colours by the Hand Bells Choir Gotha.

Awards and reviews

Christmas 2017

Ludford’s Lady Mass plus chant from the Sarum Rite meet Kenneth Leighton and Graham Lack’s handbells-enriched meditation on Candlemas, all sensitively executed.

December 2017

Trinity Boys Choir have an incredibly warm sound, and one is charmed by the beauty of their collective tone as much as by the individuality of the solo voices, ranging from the older, confident trebles to younger, fragile naïve voices…Throughout the disc, the contribution of the handbell choir is a joyful and festive presence.

December 2017

It’s very impressive how David Swinson extracts from them a precise, clear and well-articulated sound with almost perfect intonation. The musicianship demonstrated is of the highest quality and the recording superbly focused. I also like the processional idea at the start and the recessional effect during the final Alma redemptoris Mater plainchant.
