Reviewed by Tony May
Long recognised as one of the UK's premier choirs, this 23 track collection shows how they attained such exalted status. The quality of tone and smoothness of blend, allied to the inimitable Scottish lilt achieve quite a specially warm, intimate sound which is almost unique to this choir. As a would-be choral singer myself, many a Friday night rehearsal struggle has taught me how hard come by all this smoothness is. Only rarely do the ensemble turn on the power, but when they do, as on the climax of the Lord's prayer, there's proof of firepower galore. Many familiar hymns and spirituals served up here, but the vocal arrangements are aforementioned delectable vocal blend make this a choral treat.
