Buy this disc for the superb choral singing of the London Sinfonia Chorus. They are on fine form under Richard Hickox and relish the chance to show off their large expressive pallet; just listen to the contrast between the thrilling attack of the tenors and basses at the start of the 'Confutatis' and the smooth lyricism of the sopranos and altos moments later. The solo quartet is lead by a powerful Yvonne Kennedy who sings with great charm, if perhaps with a little too much weight in some of the lighter sections. This disc really is twice as good and half as expensive as the competition.  Be the first to write a customer review
