Perhaps the only way I can truly mention the glory of this CD is that I crashed a car whilst singing along to it - descant on full blast.
The singing is superb, well balanced from the brass, organ, choir & descant sops editions through to the sopranos and harp editions. John Scott masters the organ of St Alban the Martyr at Holborn with ease, the brass ensemble play with finesse and great technique without sounding slavish to every detail, and the choir - well - just listen to O God our help, Lo! He comes, or any other track for that matter. Excellent diction, perfect intonation, and importantly for hymn singing - excellent choice of tempi.
The editions are now available from Collegium Music, Rutter's own publishing house. Worth every penny.
