Composers featured include Bax, Howells, Vaughan Williams, Bliss, Finzi, Ireland, Tippett, Rawsthorne and Rubbra.
The only recording of A Garland for the Queen available in today's market.
'There is some extraordinary writing here, often beautiful, always compelling in the strength of its ideas; but Britten certainly does not spare his singers, and the challenges are met here wonderfully well.' Gramophone of Britten
'the Cambridge choir are a highly assured, well-practised body of singers, and make light work of the difficult pieces' Gramophone of A Garland for the Queen
