 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
}Gramophone (1/97, p. 97) "...The Allegri, Bach, Faure and Mendelssohn are clear favorites....The performances are delightful....Thomas Herford is the excellent soloist in 'Hear my prayer' and a capital exponent of the high C in the Allegri..."{Gramophone (Awards Issue 1997, p. 32) - "...The range of composers gathered together here is impressive but the overall mood is one of restraint and poise, aided greatly by some quite magnificent singing from the New College Choir..."{
