“Guest directs the excellent St.John’s College Choir with sensitivity and fervour and a high standard is attained … smaller pieces are equally satisfying, notably deeply devotional and miraculously fresh singing in Bach’s Jesu, joy, and Mozart’s Ave verum corpus … with Britten’s rare genius for setting words to music” (Gramophone)
