This disc presents an adorned version of the Office of Vespers as it might be heard on the eve of Christmas in Westminster Cathedral, a building steeped in art, music and spirituality.
The chant on this disc is the golden thread which runs throughout the entire liturgy giving the Office a natural rhythm
and inevitability as well as clarity of text and beautiful language; it is complemented here by motets and canticles by
Thomas Tallis, Tomás Luis de Victoria and Heinrich Schütz, while Jean Langlais’s massive Fête for organ concludes the
service.
The only cathedral choir in the world to sing Mass and Vespers liturgically every day, The Choir of Westminster
Cathedral is perfectly placed to offer to the armchair listener this CD encapsulation of their very lifeblood, recorded here
in the opulent acoustic of their own cathedral.
