Whitehall Choir's second CD features little-known Christmas music across the centuries. Recorded at St Alban the Martyr, Holborn, London, in early 2009, this CD includes two settings of the Magnificat (by Finzi and Howells) as well as pieces by Palestrina, Bach, Victoria, Mendelssohn and the choir's conductor, Paul Spicer.

"...[Whitehall Choir] acquit themselves admirably in another programme that spans the centuries, from
Palestrina, Victoria and Byrd to the present day..."
Gramophone, December 2009
Whitehall Choir's first recording in 2007 showcases the drama and richness of music for voices, wind and brass instruments. Bruckner's Mass in E Minor combines symphonic grandeur with a purity of expression reminiscent of Palestrina. Paul Spicer's vividly colourful setting of R S Thomas' poetry makes an exciting contemporary contrast in this new CD magnificently recorded in St Mary-le-Bow church in London.
