Although Christ Church Cathedral Choir is 500 years old, it is justly famous for the youthfulness of its sound and its daring and adventurous musical programming. Unique in he world as both Cathedral and College choir, the intimate acoustic of its musical home heard on this recording, Oxford’s 12th century Cathedral, has given it a close relationship with early sacred music. Stephen Darlington has been Director of Music at Christ Church since 1985 but his association with the choir began as a student under Simon Preston from 1971-74. He was appointed President of the Royal College of Organists.
