"None of these young voices is anything less than impressive, and several are quite distinguished"

Gramophone

 

" ... the chief impression one is left with after hearing this disc is the excellence and polish of the choir ... this is a fine and very enjoyable disc. The performance standard is uniformly very high"

Hear my words ye people by Hubert Parry, a former chorister at Eton College is the first track on the album featuring some of the bestloved anthems in the church repertoire, beautifully performed by the Eton College Chapel Choir.

The choir, formed in the 14th-Century has changed a great deal since the choir school was succeeded by a music scholarship system, designed to facilitate talented choristers with their education. Although life has changed at Eton, the music passed down over five hundred years still possesses a power to stir.
