[…] own imprint (on Signum Classics) features Andrew Nethsingha and his choir (boy trebles, male choral scholars and lay clerks) recorded live at the college's annual Advent carol service in 2018 and 2019. The music is eclectic, we hear four of the O Anthems (plainchant) along with music from Herbert Howells, Otto Goldschmidt, Hugo Distler, Elizabeth Maconchy, Telemann, Britten, Hugo Wolf, Bach plus contemporary composers Jonathan Dove, Arvo Part, Cecilia McDowall, Gabriel Jackson, John McCabe, Anthony Milner, Judith Bingham, Paul Manz, Christopher Robinson.
