Evensong Live 2015

The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge Directed by Stephen Cleobury Released 1 June 2015 1CD

The tracks on this album were recorded live during Evensong services in the 2013-2014 academic year, as part of the College’s regular Chapel webcasts. This collection provides a snapshot of the ensemble during a fleeting moment in its five-century history, and a glimpse of the daily music making that is so integral to life at King’s. The recordings were made during services using a state-of-the-art recording system concealed in the roof, vestry and organ loft, with microphones suspended discreetly above the choir stalls. “Precise and graceful singing” – The Guardian
