“Not to distract you from the excellence of the orchestral playing, but the accomplishments and inspiration displayed here represent English choral singing at its best. The smoothness, unanimity of enunciation, and ear-endearing luminosity of the singing resonates long after … not to be missed by fans of lyrical British choral music. Those who appreciate their Vaughan Williams and Delius will be richly rewarded.”

Conductor Douglas Bostock has been a tireless champion of underrepresented orchestral music. Originally released in limited release by Classico in 2003 as “Elgar and the English Choral Tradition”, Griffin Records is pleased to make this superb program of English music for chorus and orchestra from the late Romantic era, including four world premieres, available for download and streaming for the first time.
