Hymn to St. Cecilia

Sacred and Profane

Composer(s):
  • Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)

The voices are all very pure, blending beautifully into a unified whole … They excel in crispness of attack and in fleet-footed running passages, in music of delicately controlled lyricism and devout quietness Gramophone No matter what earlier issues of this music one may own, this disc has an independent positive contribution to make. Heartily recommended! Fanfare Deutsche Shallplatten Kritik Award 1984
