Description
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)
Cecilia McDowell: Sacred Choral Music CDA68251"A typically meticulous recording by Layton and The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, sensitive to every nuance of phrasing and articulation." - Gramophone
Jaako Mantyjarvi: Choral Music CDA68266
"It's a quality of performance of performance and recording we've come to depand on from [Layton and the Trinity College Choir].....I love the sound of the recording itself." - BBC Record Review
