Henry Purcell: Anthems for the Chapel Royal
Choir of Trinity College
Cambridge
Richard Marlow
“The choir of Trinity College, Cambridge under Richard Marlow add substantially to their reputation in this recording. They begin with the Benedicite , strong in rhythm as in full-bodied tone, and end with the great eight-part Hear my prayer, skilful in shaping, secure in intonation, sensitive in balance.” (Gramophone)
“Marlow gets god results from his singers; such expressive anthems as Remember Not.. and Hear My Prayer.. are eloquently done and beautifully recorded.” (Penguin Guide 3 stars)
