Recordings
Magdalen College Choir records for Harmonia Mundi. Their most recent release, Duruflé: Requiem, Quatre Motets & Messe "Cum Jubilo" will be available from 24th November. So far, the critics have said:
one of the best Duruflé Requiems on disc.
authoritatively and affectingly sung, with ... exquisite tenor sound... and sublime trebles
first-rate ensemble singing... impressive in its power - ClassicsToday.com
Magdalen College Choir represent the best of the British collegiate tradition - Fanfare
Their previous CD, William Byrd: Second Service and Consort Anthems, was commended by BBC Music Magazine (October 2007) as "a benchmark - of interpretation, scholarship and programming"; reviewer Berta Joncus praised the "flawless ensemble" and "radiant boy trebles".
Other recent recording successes include the Choir's selection of music by Orlando Gibbons, With a Merry Noyse, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Listen Sweet Dove is a collection of choral and organ music by the Director of Music, Bill Ives.
Sir Paul McCartney's newest choral work, Ecce Cor Meum, was commissioned especially by the College for the Choir, recorded by EMI and premiered at the Royal Albert Hall.
