Trinity College Choir Cambridge; Stephen Layton - Antognini: Come to me in the silence of the night

Ivo Antognini writes in an idiom which is mellifluous and approachable, as befits a composer with an early background in film, television and jazz and who now concentrates on choral composition.

Critical Acclaim:

Trinity are on fine form: youthful, but firmly muscled and fearless, with Layton encouraging an open, fuller sound than the Oxbridge standard. They make their case for Antognini as a sugary part of the Anglican choral diet. � Gramophone

Stephen Layton has the singers exactly on point in material like Lux aeterna and the quietly devasting Those tender words � Choir & Organ (4 STARS)

the performances, by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, under Stephen Layton, are quite outstanding, with immaculate tuning, blend and diction � and what a rare delight to be able to hear the words so clearly! This is wholly secure singing, brilliantly projected and featuring terrific soloists. One really could not imagine a stronger case being made for the music than this disc. � Cathedral Music
