There really isn’t a lot that needs to be said about this album. It can be summed up in a few words: sublime vocals, beautiful production and moving arrangements. But that doesn’t tell you what is on this album. So, let’s begin. Basically it’s what it says on the cover (just like that vinyl stuff for protecting your brickwork). The Chester Cathedral Choir, conducted by David Poulter, singing various hymns with the backing of soloists: Joseph Hartwell Jones (treble); Nicholas Perfect (bass baritone); Ben Saunders (organ); Clare Langan (flute) and Christine Swain (oboe). Songs include “Shout To The Lord”, “The Lord’s My Shepherd”, “Be Still” and many of your favourites. I would recommend listening to this majestic recording on Headphones and if you have Dolby pro logic, all the better – it’s like being in the very Cathedral. Get it and enjoy it!
