‘The opportunity to hear again Sir David Willcocks directing these fine performances of works that reveal Holst’s gift for finding distinctive choral textures makes this a disc that collectors will want to snap up. The recording from the expert team of Christopher Palmer and Bob Auger is excellent.’
Bruce Reader – The Classical Reviewer, August 2016

‘the warmth and thrust of the music are beautifully caught…. The Hymn to Dionysus… a rarity…, makes a welcome and substantial fill-up…. Beautifully clean and atmospheric recording.’
