Stabat Mater

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Though there is much emotional turbulence in this music, Hill maintains a compelling life and forward momentum in Howells's immensely contrapuntal score ... The Bach Choir has a palpable vibrancy in its range and layers of dynamics which are complemented by the extensive and highly sensitive palette of Howells's orchestra ... and the incisive solo tenor role of Benjamin Hulett".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "To anyone still inclined to think of this composer as a minor figure ... this magnificent new recording will serve as a necessary antidote ... The whole team of singers and instrumentalists respond with the utmost fervour to Hill's evidently inspiring leadership. This is a triumph for all concerned".
