Background: This disc, quite simply, is British choral music at its best, and Stephen Layton and Polyphony at theirs. 2002 marks the centenary of the birth of Sir William Walton. People will have heard the repertoire but this is the definitive version, complete with brass and the acoustics of Hereford Cathedral.

In 2001 Polyphony won the Gramophone Award for Best Choral Recording for which Gramophone remarked 'This has to be one of the strongest winners of the choral award in recent years'.

And yet Stephen Layton has followed that accolade with a disc that comprises such breathtaking singing, the lsitener will be left staggered by such a mighty force of combined musicianship and talent
