...sopranos and altos had tones as clean as their well-scrubbed faces. Moreover, they sang with ease and confidence, never wavered from pitch, and phrased with the subtlety of master musicians. With heavier vocal underpinnings from 18 grownup "gentlemen of the choir," they sang a cycle of English church music from the days of Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) and Henry Purcell to the present.
