An a cappella programme, mainly of English music, reflecting the pastoral beauty of the English countryside and exploring the power of nature and its influence on our emotional world. This programme celebrates nature with music by Vaughan Williams, Howells, Stanford and Britten.
… the 22 unaccompanied voices of the Gabrieli Consort… unleash their full vocal power, which was thrilling. I swear I saw Hawksmoor’s mighty pillars tremble.
