Praising God for all the choristers!Amazing experience!
-
Could I just add that the treble soloist in the Pelham Humfrey was George Corbett (now Dr.George Corbett of St.Andrew's University)

Marvellous I was attracted to this broadcast through the separate clip featuring the voluntary by Croft my expectations were high and justifiably so! I am not looking forward to the day when the ArchivesOfSound channel closes down! Do you know who the string players were, by the way?
