King's College Choir - Vespers

This newest release by the formidable Choir of King's College rises to the front of the ranks of Vespers recordings not only for the sheer beauty of the singing, but also for the interpretive ingenuity led by the brilliant chorus-master Stephen Cleobury. The King's College recording of John Rutter's beautiful Requiem, released in '98, was an instant hit with critics and music buyers, and this new release - of equally appealing repertoire - is destined for similar success.
