A cluster of choral miniatures culminating in one of Finzi’s most intense, visionary masterpieces: this is some of the most exquisite English choral writing of the last century.

What a beautifully crafted disc this is – not just in its quality (and it really is Trinity at their absolute best) but also in its shape and programming…Uplifting, moving, poignant, triumphant – this gloriously, lovingly performed recital of Finzi’s music fully reflects the breadth of the composer’s masterly skill at writing for choir. – Gramophone Magazine, September 2019

Trinity’s mixed young adults are effortless in the ease with which they respond to Layton’s exacting demands. The ground is hit running with a Magnificat whose iterations of the word ‘magnify’ explode in radiant exultation, cutting through the impeccably English collegiate timbres that lubricate Finzi’s flowing lines. – BBC Music Magazine, October 2019
