Anthems for the 21st Century
Vasari Singers
directed by
Jeremy Backhouse

"a most stimulating collection of music and it is hard to imagine
that it could be performed better than by Jeremy Backhouse and his
superb choir" Music Web
International |

"Our great British choral tradition would be infinitely poorer but
for the dedication of groups like the Vasari Singers. The choir recently
commissioned 10 composers to write works 'that might reflect the state of
the world at the start of the new millennium'. Nine of them are recorded
here for the first time, with three others also new to disc. The
consistently high level of invention and diverse styles contribute to the
album's overall success" Classic FM

"this lovely disc from Signum Classics, recorded at Tonbridge
.... leaving room for the listener to wallow in the gorgeousness of
an assembly of luxurious voices" Muso |

|
"an exiting disc, that enhances Vasari's position at the
forefront of choral singing in his country" Choir Schools Today |

|
"Choral artistry, it comes as no surprise, is exceptional
– this has always been a first-class outfit – and there’s new
music worth hearing as well"
