May/June 2019
There may have been many Tavener choral CDs in recent years, but this one is very special.
May 2019
I am finishing this review precisely on what would have been John Tavener’s 75th birthday… [Annunciation] is followed by a superb rendition of As one who has slept, once again brought alive by the impeccable pacing and by the fantastic blend of the choir (do they ever breathe?). This is a showroom demonstration of just what boy and girl choristers singing together can achieve. A truly magnificent birthday present.
July 2019
Even if you already have discs of Tavener’s choral music you should consider this.

chords floating around untethered and timeless, an intensity truly mesmerising.
