Covering a vast array of repertoire, this essential collection presents the greatest choral masterpieces in critically acclaimed performances. From the sacred music of the Medieval era, to the refinement of the Renaissance and the Baroque; from Mozart's Classical perfection, to the Romantic worlds of Schumann, Brahms and Dvořák; and to the exciting new sounds of Penderecki and the inspired beauty of works by Eric Whitacre and Arvo Pärt, and much more besides - The Choral Collection is a fantastic celebration of the art of choral singing.
"There's plenty to celebrate here, not least sterling performances by Oxford Camerata under Jeremy Summerly (including Bach's Magnificat, Vivaldi's Gloria, Fauré's Requiem and other choral pieces, and a fine Hildegard CD)…A useful collection, more valuable for what's relatively unusual than for what isn't." Gramophone
"As a presentation of a Renaissance Passion to a modern audience this is very persuasive." Gramophone on the Lassus
"The vocal soloists are especially fine ... highly respectable performances" American Record Guide on the Purcell
