5 out of 5 stars Stupendous majesty and awe.......2007-03-21

Westminster Cathedral Choir is one of the finest Catholic Choirs if not in the UK. Anyone who has never visited the building would be blown away by the sheer size of it with a long nave and fine Willis Organ facing the West end position. This collection of delights are a delight for any listener who appreciates the old masters to the more contemporary. The Britten is a revelation and the longest work is the double magnificat by Charles Stanford. Notice how the Choir stay perfectly in tune on the note and never tired of such a work which is unaccompanied. A real treat.

4 out of 5 stars A Definitive Collection.......1999-09-28

This disc is ideal for anyone who is curious about the Roman Catholic Cathedral just down the road from Westminster Abbey. It features music from all ages, all of which is brilliantly sung. Of course, since it covers such a broad range of styles, it is what I like to call a "buffet" CD- there's always a firm favourite item, rubbing proverbial shoulders with something less appealing. For instance, I am very taken by the Panufnik work "Deus meus es tu" but find such items as the Palestrina quite dull (although other works from that period such as the Byrd "Ave verum" are most arresting). On the whole, this disc is the definitive "voice" of Westminster Cathedral Choir, and it will be interesting to see what happens when director James O'Donnell takes over at Westminster Abbey in the new year. A broad mix of music that is good value for money.

5 out of 5 stars Modern Liturgical Music, A rare bird.......2006-10-27

'The Sacred Music for Unaccompanied Choir' by Francis Poulenc is headlined by a rare contemporary 'Mass in G' which, in Latin, sounds old and new at the same time. As a devotee of liturgical music in general, I just stumbled over this in my roaming through bins of sacred music and I'm constantly delighted to have found it. Not least among its virtues is its offering a prototype of performances to ambitious church choirs which may not be up to either selections from 'Early Music' polyphony or Bach's baroque masterpieces.

If you ever run across this recording for a reasonable price, get it. If you happen to be a rabid Poulenc fan, just about any price is reasonable for this rare bird.
