The choir make their debut on Linn Records with Philips & Dering: Motets. This recording offers a fresh insight into the lives and works of two expatriate English Catholic composers exiled to Flanders at the time of the Reformation. Peter Philips and Richard Dering both travelled widely in Europe and their music displays a variety of religious and musical influences picked up along the way.
‘…marvellously well-judged direction…everything seemsfresh and vital…evidence of sheer musical fun’
Gramophone
‘…the stellar choir of Gonville & Caius College(Cambridge) does a great job ... ensemble In Echoproves skilful and generous, both in sound andornamentation.'
De Standaard
'... never has it leapt so vividly off the page and been so thrillingly audible as in these new recordings ... The War in Heaven word-painting of Factum est silentium, with St Michael and his angels squaring off against the Devil and his followers, has never sounded so cinematic.'
