"The recording is spacious and clear; the performances excellent and the music inspiring."

"Four Stars ... Nethsingha has assembled a formidable team ... stylish, incisive, bright-toned support ... sparklingly insistent."
- BBC Music Magazine
Andrew Nethsingha leads the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge and St John's Sinfonia on works by Purcell including the crowning glory of the recording, O sing unto the Lord, written at Purcell's compositional peak when no other composer could touch him. The players and singers on this programme blend past and present musical styles seamlessly and soloists and choir mesh together in a dazzling way.
