Ora Singers / Suzi Digby Sanctissima: Vespers & Benediction For The Feast CD

This recording takes us on a fantasy choral journey using the traditional services of Vespers and Benediction as it's guide. It weaves hypnotic plainchant around renaissance gems and modern masterpieces. The music of the great Renaissance masters, Palestrina, Guerrero and Anerio sit alongside distinctive voices from the twenty-first century: James MacMIllan, Julian Anderson, John Joubert, Sven-David Sandstr?m and Matthew Martin.
