This is a live recording of the final home concert presented by Joseph Flummerfelt with the Westminster Choir before Maestro Flummerfelt retired from his position as the Choir's conductor. The repertoire is the choir's final tour program with Maestro Flummerfelt, and it features many of his favorites-including his popular arrangement of Danny Boy. Praised by American Record Guide as the "gold standard for American academic choirs," the Westminster Choir has performed and recorded with virtually every major orchestra and conductor of the past 80 years. The New York Times has applauded its "full-bodied, incisive singing." Musical America's 2004 Conductor of the Year, Joseph Flummerfelt and his musical artistry have been acclaimed in the world's finest concert halls for many years. He was hailed by Leonard Bernstein as "the world's greatest choral conductor." Maestro Flummerfelt is the chorus master for the New York Philharmonic and music director of the New York Choral Artists, which he founded in 1979.
