Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge

tabauth1.gif (1202 bytes)

The second of the great Cambridge college choirs, alongside King's, which rank with any of the superb cathedral choirs. At one time John's had a reputation for being a little plodding compared with King's, but these days, they're on top form.

 Christmas Proclamation - St. John's College, Cambridge Visit shop
Here is a chance to hear Tavener at his best. This incredible value for money CD (at the last check only £4.99 in the UK) includes his two best-known pieces, the stunning The Lamb, as featured in the recent Orange mobile phone TV ads, and Song for Athene, which was used at Diana, Princess of Wales' funeral. But there's plenty more too - try, for example, Funeral Ikos - it's a wonderful CD, with a thoughtful performance from the choir of St. John's College, Cambridge. Click on the UK Shop link to hear a number of samples. Not in the US yet, but at this price (around $7.75), well worth paying a little extra to have it shipped in.  - New 28 October 2002

St John's Cambridge give an excellent interpretation of Howells' Requiem, and throw in a Mag & Nunc (St Pauls), a Communion service (Collegium Regale), various organ pieces and one of Howell's most delightful anthems, the very moving Like As the Hart. Not only this, but it's a bargain price CD at around £4.99 in the UK or $7.98 in the US. Snap it up! - New 5 February 2003
