This 1993 compilation from Collegium Records is a great way to sample theartistic breadth and versatility of the Cambridge Singers. It includes songsfrom eight of their recordings, ranging from sacred to secular, serious tosublime, including many of Rutter's original compositions. The King's Singersjoin the Cambridge Singers and the City of London Sinfonia on a selectionfrom Rutter's "The Wind in the Willows." Flute and harpsichord are featuredin "Waltz," but the rest is all a cappella on this 19-track disc. Six of thesongs are by Rutter himself, although the list of composers representedincludes other greats like Debussy ("Trois Chansons de Charles d'Orleans"),Taverner ("Christe Jesu, pastor bone"), and Verdi ("Laudi alla VergineMaria"). For old and new fans of this premiere vocal ensemble, this one is atreasure.
