Description
Ivo Antognini writes in an idiom which is mellifluous and approachable, as befits a composer with an early background in film, television and jazz and who now concentrates on choral composition.
Critical Acclaim:
"Trinity are on fine form: youthful, but firmly muscled and fearless, with Layton encouraging an open, fuller sound than the Oxbridge standard. They make their case for Antognini as a sugary part of the Anglican choral diet." – Gramophone
"Stephen Layton has the singers exactly on point in material like Lux aeterna and the quietly devasting Those tender words" – Choir & Organ (4 STARS)
"the performances, by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, under Stephen Layton, are quite outstanding, with immaculate tuning, blend and diction – and what a rare delight to be able to hear the words so clearly! This is wholly secure singing, brilliantly projected and featuring terrific soloists. One really could not imagine a stronger case being made for the music than this disc." – Cathedral Music
"A typically meticulous recording by Layton and The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, sensitive to every nuance of phrasing and articulation." - Gramophone
Jaako Mantyjarvi: Choral Music CDA68266
"It's a quality of performance of performance and recording we've come to depand on from [Layton and the Trinity College Choir].....I love the sound of the recording itself." - BBC Record Review
