The splendour of Westminster Cathedral is the perfect setting for 1,000 years of musical history: early plainchant and the purity of Perotin 's 13th-century vocal polyphony contrast with music by Judith Weir and Mahler's Resurrection symphony. This concert was originally broadcast live in September 1999.
Solveig Kringleborn (soprano), Catherine Wyn-Rogers (mezzo), London Symphony Chorus, Orlando Consort, BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, conductors Andrew Davis and Stephen Cleobury
