"Stephen Cleobury's collection of Handel's Coronation Anthems (Academy of Ancient Music and Choir of King's College Cambridge) is one of the best currently available with great articulation and verve...Coronation Ode by Elgar and I Was Glad by Parry are presented in spectacular sound with more than ample reverberation from the Abbey setting. This kind of sound doesn't always work but the results achieved here are magnificent. It's impossible not to get carried away in such a massive, thrilling aural experience. Both performances are inspired and moving." MusicWeb
