Choir of King's College, Cambridge

Reviews

"I like it’s air of dignified devoutness, a quality allied to the purity of timbre that the choir offers" (EMI "Rachmaninov Vespers" CD)
Sunday Times Culture, 29 April 2001

"The solo singing is uniformly magnificent, orchestral support vivid and abundantly varied, (…) with such fresh and unassuming performances, everything else simply sparkles with new life, making this a particularly worthwhile issue in this special Bach year." (EMI "Bach Magnificat" CD)
Gramophone, July 2000

"Normally I’d advise steering clear (of compilations) but this collection of sacred highlights from King’s is an exception to the rule. The double CD contains two complete programmes of choral works especially recorded for the purpose and performed in a good compromise between modern and authentic style." (EMI "Bach Magnificat" CD)
The Independent on Sunday, 23 April 2000

"Rachmaninov’s Vespers was one of the highlights of 1999, produce as clean and disciplined a sound as ever, though thankfully this doesn’t also mean a lack of festive joie de vivre." (EMI "Rachmaninov Vespers" CD)
Classic CD, 2000

"Jubilate Deo…fine sound nuances. Singers have all soloist’s qualities…"
Neue Presse, 1999

"It took a long time before the internationally acclaimed Choir of King’s College could finally be a guest at the Cathedral….wonderful singing culture and no signs of tiredness at the encores. Big applause from the sold-out Cathedral thanked the musicians for such a concert, that is only seldom to hear in this house of God"
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 1999

"Their sound fits this music like a glove. Quality of the boys and men of King’s has never been better…." (EMI "Rachmaninov Vespers" CD)
Sunday Times, 1999

"pure singing…this is a CD to remind us of what Christmas is really about, with festivity, contemplation and solemn observance united in a jubilant praise" (EMI "A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols"CD)
Daily Telegraph, 1999

"Rachmaninov’s Vespers was one of the highlights of 1999, produce as clean and disciplined a sound as ever, though thankfully this doesn’t also mean a lack of festive joie de vivre." (EMI "Rachmaninov Vespers" CD)
