Gorgeously melancholic British funeral music for unaccompanied choir, ranging from Sheppard and Morley to Elgar. For me, the highlight is Herbert Howells’s Requiem, grief seeping from every cadance. It’s beautifully sung by Paul McCreesh’s Gabrieli Consort in an acoustic that sounds aptly like a tomb but is, in fact, Ely Cathedral. –Richard Morrison, The Times, March 17 2012
