“Another thing to say early on is that I know singers and listeners in the UK who have a slight aversion to American choirs. Some consider them maybe a little unsubtle or even, dare I say, unsophisticated both in tone quality, diction and in choice of repertoire. Well again, so far as this disc is concerned, you may have no fear on that account. There is strength to be heard here but also a ravishing purity at times from the Kansas (City) Kantorei performances. This may possibly remind you of an Oxbridge choir.”
