Although the primary purpose of the disc is to present the world-premiere recording of Stanford’s lavish and vibrant Mass in G, there is real delicacy, detail and momentum in all the performances, which means its other paragons of English choral music are more than simply one more example of Parry’s Songs of Farewell that doesn’t reach the exacting standards of Tenebrae or the crystalline purity of the choir of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. The overall sound is, in fact, only slightly let down by the organ, which is a bit loud for the chapel and, sadly, slightly tired mechanically, sounding a little coarse next to the refinement of the singing.
