The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge under conductor Stephen Cleobury present a compelling second release. Here they perform Mozart Requiem (Sussmayr edition), with a second disc of complete movement realisations by leading composers and musicologists including Michael Finnessy, Robert D. Levin and Duncan Druce.

‘It’s all sung spotlessly … by the King’s boys and men under Stephen Cleobury, while Elin Manahan Thomas, Christine Rice, James Gilchrist and Christopher Purves make an artful set of soloists.’ The Big Issue (UK)
