Music for Holy Week

Founded after World War II in England by professional tenor soloist John McCarthy and British musicologist and viola player Dennis Stevens, the Ambrosian Singers are one of the best-known London choral groups. From 1961 to 1966, when McCarthy was a choral director of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Ambrosian Singers was known as the London Symphony Orchestra Chorus. This classic album features the group performing medieval and renaissance sacred choral music. All selections newly re-mastered.
