Trinity Boys Choir is one of the busiest and most successful ensembles of its kind. The young singers perform regularly at the concert and opera houses in Milan, Paris, and London, where they have appeared alongside the great stars of the music world, including Sir Eliot Gardiner and his Monteverdi Choir. The ambitious choir has put together an inspiring programme: assisted by musicologists and composers, Nicholas Ludford's (c. 1485 - c. 1557) Missa Dominica was edited meticulously and is provided with a fitting context on this recording by medieval vocal music as well as contemporary works. This disc is not only a real asset for music scholarship but, first and foremost, a true feast for listeners: the singers' brilliant voices merge beautifully with the sound of the organ and are enriched with additional tone-colours by the Handglockenchor Gotha.
