Album

Richard Hickox and the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus handle it superbly. Likewise, The Hymn of Jesus is exactly as I remember it, and this performance is excellent. The text is provided for both pieces, but the more I listen the more I wish I had sheet music so I could follow it more exactly. If you enjoy choral music, accompanied by orchestra including organ, get this CD You won't regret it. Read more.
