COMPACT DISC
‘Katherine Watson, already a busy soloist, has a delightful baroque soprano voice … but it is Iestyn Davies who serves up this recording’s jewel in his first recorded Agnus Dei, a masterclass in technique, vocal beauty and moving musicality that it is hard to imagine surpassed … this is a fresh and attractive B minor Mass, with plenty in it to enjoy’ (Gramophone)
‘[Iestyn Davies] discharges a beautifully inflected 'Qui sedes', impeccably warmed and coloured by a discreet vibrato that instinctively knows its expressive place. Neal Davies’ resonant 'Quoniam tu solus' is egged on by the gravelly chuckles of bassoons and roistering French horn, while Katherine Watson’s soaring soprano also strikes up an alluring partnership with Iestyn Davies for the 'Et in unum Deum'. One of the challenges for any conductor is marrying the Mass’s old-fashioned and up-to-the-minute elements while forging a coherent whole. Layton is on the case’ (BBC Music Magazine)
