A Year at TRURO
The Choir of Truro Cathedral
Luke Bond Organ, directed by Christopher Gray

The fourth release in Regent’s new ‘A Year at…’ series featuring a year in music from England’s major Cathedrals. Includes new works from Philip Stopford, David Bednall and David Cheetham written for Truro Cathedral Choir.

"From the beauty and purity of the boy chorister voices that open The truth from above to the impressive full choir, full organ, blow your hair back powerful chords that close David Bednall's Noe, noe, this recording covers a wide spectrum of choral works closely related to the liturgical year....Play it loud and close your eyes. You will feel the energy of Truro Cathedral around you. Well recommended!"
