Reviews
‘…welcome sparkle in Bednall’s brass writing and Chilcott’s entry has a wistfully sweet innocence.’ ‘Best of Christmas’ BBC Music
‘Benenden School Chapel Choir’s 36 girls (aged 13-18) perform impeccably; delightful and charming, even disarming – but also expressively powerful when required’ ★★★★★ Organists’ Review
‘The stillness of a moonless night, blackbirds, berries and snow angels …. what better to stir the Christmas spirit..’ Classical Music Sentinel
‘…eloquently presented …well-honed singing …[an] innovative collection.’ Choir & Organ
‘..three different, but approachable, contemporary voices. Bednall’s music is lyric and melodic with some imaginative writing for his chosen forces of choir, brass and percussion. Chilcott’s music here showcases his brilliant ability to write ear-worms, yet never seem to be repeating himself or writing down. Sarah Quartel’s music brings in another, interesting lyric voices ’ Planet Hugill
‘..the key aspect of this recording is the extraordinarily high standard of singing from these young women’
Andrew Benson-Wilson December 2019
‘…a joy throughout.’ 9/10 Crossrhythms.co.uk
