A varied collection of choral and organ music for the three principal services of the day - Matins, Eucharist and Evensong - including Walton's Jubilate, Stainer's I saw the Lord, Francis Grier's Missa Trinitatis Sanctae and Howells' 'Westminster Service'

The Choir of Westminster Abbey
Robert Quinney organ
James O'Donnell conductor

CD available at: www.hyperion-records.co.uk

'James O'Donnell proves himself master of two Westminster traditions: the Collegiate Abbey style is as assured as his former 'continental' Cathedral persona. Best are the persuasively-layered Britten Te Deum, and conspicuously bouncy Walton Jubilate. The Tomkins reponses almost purr with effortless control' BBC Music Magazine

'The setting's generous acoustics play their own part, bathing the entire recording in a warm, luxuriant glow. Those with even the vaguest interest in choral music will undoubtedly want to add this fine recording to their collection' HMV Choice
