Girl Choristers named Classic FM's CD of the week

Girl Choristers' CD In the Stillness has been voted Classic FM's CD of the week. A different track from the CD has been played by Alexander Armstrong on his show just after 10am every morning this week.

As described by Delphian Records: 'The newest star in Oxford’s – and Delphian’s – choral firmament, the girl choristers of Merton College have been singing services under the directorship of Benjamin Nicholas for no more than five years: in their debut album recording, supported by the Lower Voices of the Merton College, they tell once more in music from across the centuries the timeless Christmas story of light, hope and joy for a troubled world.'

The CD has also received recognition from other sources: for example, BBC Music Magazine: 

'Joined by the Lower Voices of Merton College Choir, the Girl Choristers exhibit a crystalline clarity of tone in the traditional Rocking Carol, and full-voiced attack in Joubert's Torches. Impressive unanimity characterises Britten's A New Year Carol while Holst's In the Bleak Midwinter is limpidly evocative. Benjamin Nicholas conducts empathetically ...'
