Reviews
‘Reverberant acoustics and clear vocal lines combine in this pleasing collection’ Choir & Organ November/December 2020
‘…the fulsome top line provided by the combined boys and girls of the Abbey Choirs, best heard in the descant to Once in royal David’s city. The recording is most notable for Huw Williams’s salute to his former Hereford Cathedral colleague, the great Roy Massey, including Massey’s arrangements of the Ukrainian carol Long the night and his setting, with strident but austere organ, of Adam lay ybounden. The best showcase for the Klais is Mack Wilberg’s arrangement of Ding dong! merrily on high, played with relish by assistant organist Shean Bowers.’ Gramophone December 2020
