Overview
A sumptuous choral programme from the acclaimed Choir of The King’s Consort presents some of the finest of all English Romantic music, including masterworks by Stanford, Walton and Britten, two glorious double-choir settings by William Harris, a handful of hidden jewels, and Herbert Howells’s desolately poignant motet on the death of President Kennedy.
