Reviews

‘Westminster Cathedral's 19 Lay Clerks give a beautifully paced rendition of Victoria's rarely performed (and even less often recorded) Missa Gaudeamus … the choral blend is—as might be expected—superb and exquisitely balanced. The countertenors soar to amazing heights without the slightest hint of strain … this benchmark recording is another superb addition to both Hyperion's and Westminster Cathedral's illustrious Victoria discography’ (Gramophone)

‘It makes a compelling whole, sung with rapt purity by the male voices of Westminster Cathedral choir’ (The Guardian)

‘Close-up, full-throated and passionate’ (International Record Review)

‘The men of Westminster Cathedral Choir make a stunning sound … beautifully sung’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘An elaborate musical mosaic, the appeal of which owes much to the atmospheric depths of the Westminster acoustic, beautifully captured on this recording’ (Financial Times)
