A collection of Easter music sung sung by the Choir of King’s College Cambridge in the famous Chapel and made available as an audio album for the first time. Taken from the BBC’s 2020 Easter broadcast, these recordings capture the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge under the direction of Daniel Hyde, performing for his first Easter from King’s since taking up the post of Director of Music.
Highlights include a selection of movements from Charles Wood’s St Mark Passion, as well as much-loved Easter music by Bob Chilcott, Bainton, Casals and Duruflé.
The recordings in this collection are made available at better-than-CD quality and have been specially remastered.
