Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

St John's English Choral Music series for Naxos (this Walton disc is number four) has won golden opinions (and an award or two), but there has been nothing better than this. With Christopher Robinson nearing the end of his reign in charge of this world-renowned choir, there could hardly be a better testament to his work. The likes of "Drop, drop slow tears" and "Set me as a seal" are standards for choirs up and down the land, but pieces such as the remarkable "The Twelve" and "Where does the uttered music go?" require a particular virtuosity, which is more than evident here. Space doesn't permit an extolling of all the virtues--in brief, a sound fresh, rich and natural; ensemble and balance of voices immaculate; solo contributions impressive. Christopher Whitton's organ contributions impress, not least in arrangements of the two ubiquitous movements from Walton's film music for Henry V. The acoustic of St John's is caught just right--neither too dry nor too swimmy. As a chorister himself, Walton knew the musical traditions of the Anglican church inside out. St John's et al show here they know his music just as thoroughly. --Andrew Green

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute perfection!, 17 Mar 2002
By chris@murray11187.fsnet.co.uk (Buckinghamshire, England) - See all my reviews
This is undoubtedly the best of the five CDs that St John's have recently made with Naxos. The choir perform the pieces with their usual standard of excellence - every word is clear, the sound never lacks in energy and the dynamic variation increase the emotive quality of the music. What particularly struck me was the beauty and maturity of the treble soloists' voices - these are surely among the finest choristers in Britain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spectacular recording, 15 Feb 2002
By David Hughes (Hartlepool, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The choir of St John's has a spectacular dynamic range which complements Walton's music brilliantly. The crashing chords and almost brass-like quality of the scores come across fantastically.
