George Herbert was local to the area of Salisbury and this recital features much of the poetry that inspired many British composers. Although many of the pieces are in the repertoire of cathedral choirs, modern settings from Judith Bingham, Barry Ferguson, Alec Roth, Alexander Brent Smith and David Halls will be a first for the catalogues. This is another recording from the choir of Salisbury Cathedral who have worked exclusively with Priory for the past decade.
