The Truro Cathedral Choir presents a captivating collection of choral works in "The Complete New English Hymnal, Vol. 10." Released in 2001 under Priory Records, this album is a testament to the choir's skill and the rich tradition of choral music. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 6 minutes, the album features a diverse range of hymns and anthems, each meticulously performed with precision and passion.
From the invigorating opening of "Credition" to the triumphant conclusion of "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun," the choir navigates through a variety of styles and moods. The album includes well-known hymns such as "Love Unknown" and "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise," as well as lesser-known gems like "Diva servatrix" and "In allen meinen Thaten." The choir's rendition of "Victory" (After Palestrina's Magnificat tertii toni) showcases their ability to blend traditional and contemporary elements seamlessly.
Under the direction of Andrew Nethsingha, the Truro Cathedral Choir delivers a performance that is both technically impressive and deeply moving. The album is a celebration of the choir's musicality and their commitment to the art of choral singing. Whether you are a seasoned choral enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
