Album Description

This superb new compilation features some of the highlights of The Sixteen's twentieth century repertoire, Hymns to St Cecilia,St Columba and Hymn to the Virgin, along with Rejoice in the Lamb, and "Choral Dances" from Gloriana.

This is Britten, a genius at the centre of his country's artistic life, celebrating his own cultural and historic heritage in the optimistic dawn of the "new Elizabethan" age. A highly appropriate release with which to mark this Jubilee Year.

With a personal foreword from Harry Christophers within the booklet.
