Handel’s four splendid and wonderfully varied Coronation anthems,
together with Purcell’s and My heart is inditing have long taken
centre stage in music for these occasions, causing us to overlook pieces by
other composers expressly written for English coronation services. Edward
Higginbottom, New College choir and The AAM have redressed the matter...
The voices of the New College choristers sound fresh, eager and youthful,
and the lay clerks disciplined and evenly balanced. An enjoyable disc.
