Music inspired by light and by the spirit

The recordings were produced by John Rutter in the peerless acoustic of the Lady Chapel of Ely Cathedral, Cambridge. Available now for the first time in 5-channel surround sound, as originally recorded, this dual-layer hybrid SACD can also be played on normal CD players.
Set consists of COLCD 125 – Illumina and COLCD 127 – Blessed Spirit
"Finely crafted and beautifully shaped performances that are not just note-perfect but intensely perceptive as well." Gramophone
