Stephen Cleobury conducts the choir of King's College, Cambridge in this memorable recital of English Romantic choral music, exquisitely sung and superbly recorded in the college's famous chapel.
Timed to coincide with the Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II, this DVD presents a mouth-watering collection of favorite anthems. Appropriately, it includes some of the music sung at the Coronation service itself in 1953. It also features two sublime anthems by William Harris the man who taught Princess Elizabeth the piano.
"They’re all here, these Sunday-best anthems of the Stanford-to-Howells era. The sequence of Hail, gladdening light, Greater love hath no man and I was glad is rich fare for a start."
