20th Century Sacred Music
“The Vasari Singers, under their perceptive conductor,
Jeremy Backhouse, are a group of the very highest calibre, but they excel even
themselves here. The sound is pure, the soprano line often floating etherially
above immaculately measured harmonies. ...the overall choral tone so perfectly
blended and exquisitely balanced that it quite takes the breath away.”
Gramophone, September 1996.
