Reviewed by Liz Knowles

A wide ranging selection of hymns arranged variously for choir and organ, soloists, choral ensemble, woodwind and piano/keyboard and there are lots of carols on CD two. The selection ranges from Wesley and Victoriana to "Shine Jesus Shine" and "I The Lord Of Sea And Sky", so there's a reasonable guarantee of your own favourites being there. The production is a bit flat and doesn't really do justice to the musicians' efforts. I feel The Scottish Festival Choir, Chester Cathedral Choir, the Choir and Congregation of St Margaret's Prestwich plus various soloists deserve better.
