Missa in honorem Sancti Dominici sung by the Choir of Westminster Cathedral
Conductor, George Malcolm
(first broadcast performance)
Edmund Rubbra 's setting of the Latin text of the Mass, which is among his most recent works, is designed for liturgical use. Fundamentally diatonic in style, it nevertheless makes free use of chromaticism. The total impression it gives is of directness, simplicity, and a sincere feeling of devotion. Harold Rutland
