Debut Recording

In October 2019 the Chapel Choir and Girls' Choir came together to record their debut album. The CD was recorded at St George's Church, Chesterton, and features some of the choirs' favourite music, much of which is written by female composers. The CD was released a year later to critical acclaim, and can be purchased from all major distributors including Amazon

'Anna Lapwood draws from her youthful forces well-judged readings that are characterised by evenness of tone and genuine beauty of sound.'

Philip Reed - Choir & Organ *****

''…there's real control evident in the blend (built upwards from some impressive low basses) and tuning… it showcases the choir brilliantly and smuggles a lot of contemporary music on to a recording with real mainstream appeal.' 

Alexandra Coghlan - Gramophone

'[the] choir is as up-to-date as any first-rate modern ensemble… the singing is excellent throughout… intonation, ensemble technique, and balances, especially bass/soprano in the mixed choir, are a joy to experience.'

David Vernier - Classics Today

'the singing is fresh and clear, the aural equivalent of pure water… The choral sound is fresh, light and clear.'

John Quinn - MusicWeb International
