Product Description

Review
12 strongly dramatic and emotional pieces for Lent, Holy Week and Easter...The recording was made in the nave of the cathedral and exploits the building's marvelous acoustic to great effect...The choir's sound is exquisitely ethereal, with much purity and grace... --American Record Guide

Review
Lovely. Here is one of our very best Cathedral Choirs in the most excellent imaginable form, performing beautiful music with commitment ... The recording quality is superb and faultless... and the performances use the great Gothic space of Canterbury's Nave with consummate effect, blending the natural acoustics of the building with David Flood s long experience in subtlety of texture and shapely nuances of momentum... --Organists' Review

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must-Buy!, 27 Jan 2005
By A. Johnson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As with the other excellent CD by Canterbury Cathedral Choir on the York Ambisonic label, ("A Canterbury Christmas"), this is a CD that has to be bought! Once again the singing is perfect; lush and smooth, and the acoustic is amazingly well-captured. We're treated again to some excellent polyphony; this time the star being the Tallis in track 1. The four Lenten motets by Poulenc are in a very different style, ranging from the loud dramatic opening of "Timor Et Tremor" to the plaintive treble solo at the start of "Tristis Est Anima Mea". Whilst perhaps somewhat modern to some ears, the overall effect of these four tracks is very satisfying.
The absolute highlight of this CD though is the piece by Thomas Weelkes hiding away in track 13. Its close features a lovely treble duet with harmonies and resolving chords that finally climaxes with the two soloists working their way up higher and higher (seemingly in competition) to a Top B.
This is a much-prized CD in my collection! Grab it while you can.
