Choir and Organ

'The Girls’ Choir of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, have garnered well-deserved plaudits for the conviction, warmth and immaculate control in their singing under their founder, Edward Wickham. All these qualities are present in abundance on this new disc […] Skempton’s timeless and tireless Five Poems of Mary Webb are a masterclass in triadic writing and should be heard by every serious student of harmony. The balance between the three parts is excellent […] One hopes that this talented group will explore further the riches of the pre-war English repertory.'
Gramophone

'This well-trained choir shines in a contemporary programme anchored by Britten's vivid Friday Afternoons. The premiere recording of Beamish's Seven Songs, settings of Emily Dickinson, is worth hearing'
BBC Music Magazine

'[...] a lovely programme of secular settings for upper voices'
