This is a rich and varied collection of 21 Part Songs by none other than Sir Arthur Sullivan. With texts by poets such as Ben Jonson, Sir Walter Scott, HF Chorley and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, we are transported back to Victorian times and can enjoy all four seasons from ‘Fair Daffodils’ to ‘The Last Night of the Year’. Many of these songs are undeservedly less well-known and there are a few alternative settings of Christmas Carols. Kantos are a 16 piece choir on this recording and sing beautifully, producing a rich an mellifluous sound with the texts beautifully brought to life in a church acoustic.
