Synopsis

Amazon.com

As a survey of some of the most popular music written for the church, this program ranks high--Byrd's Ave verum corpus, Bach's Jesu, joy of man's desiring, and Brahms's How lovely is thy dwelling place (the latter two sung in English) are here, as are works by Mendelssohn, Purcell, and Mozart. The choir is among England's best, and this recording is a complement to its fine sound and inspiring, matchless cathedral space. --David Vernier

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I once spent a trip to England deciding which acoustics I liked the best in all the cathedrals with their pipe organs/choirs - and Salisbury is my favorite. Fortunately, this recording has captured its qualities. The choir is superb and there is a good blending of majestic and delicate selections. I'm buying this a second time, as I wore the first one out (!)"
