(Previously Available as CDA 66439 (034571164397) Deleted January 2011)

This mid-priced reissue features The Choir of St. Paul's Cathedral at the peak of their power, performing a brilliant sequence of liturgical works that includes some of the best-loved choral works of all time. Included are Mendelssohn's Hear my prayer, an excerpt from Brahms's German Requiem and Allegri's Miserere. Twentieth-century 'mystics' Jonathan Harvey and Sir John Tavener are also represented, and the album closes powerfully with the expansive writing of Stanford's Evening Service in G and the joyously declamatory Te Deum by Benjamin Britten.
