Digital Booklet

"emotions are strongly communicated, especially in the second setting of Requiem aeternam, where soft notes thrum in the bass register, and the central climax swells organically upward."
- BBC Music Magazine
"While the Gloriæ Dei Cantores recording is far superior in terms of sound and depth, they also bring an unencumbered and tradition-free approach to the music giving it more passion than is often heard."
- Audiophile Audition
"a big, thrilling sound that sweeps the listener up in an exhilarating cascade of vocal glory, abetted here by the excellent organ playing of James Jordan... a valuable and welcome addition to the composer’s discography, and to the collection of any Howells aficionado..."
- Fanfare
In the vast choral repertoire of the 20th century, the music of Herbert Howells stands apart with its moving expressivity and the range of colour it explores. Gloriae Dei Cantores pays tribute to Howells's gift of music to the church and the world with this highly acclaimed collection of choral works beloved on both sides of the Atlantic.
