This recording features the Girl Choristers in their very first recording in the Cathedral. As is to be expected, both Girls, Boys and Men perform to the highest standards in a collection of new and old favourites including works by Poulenc, Britten and Parry. Also features three stunning works by Howells, Leighton and Whitlock performed on the newly restored organ. All this in a recording of remarkable beauty.
