Alban Voices

DDX 21106

A fantastic collection of American choral classics ranging from Thompson’s sublime Alleluia to the terrific choral arrangement of Gershwin’s Summertime from Porgy & Bess.

U.K. based conductor Robin White has put together this British interpretation of American Classics stemming from his own, excellent arrangement of the traditional Shenandoah. White’s arrangement balances the programme nicely along with Copeland’s I bought me a cat. This is a surprising and entertaining collection.

Alban Voices is a chamber-choir formed over 20 years ago by Robin White and his late wife, Freda, originally as a choir for St. Albans Abbey.
