Rubbra Festival Gloria

'...a most elegantly arranged sequence of 'a cappella' pieces by Herbert Howells and Edmund Rubbra. They are well-matched composers, stylistically not too far apart (if not in the end so very close); each of a polyphonic, ecclesiastical bent; each accepted for his master' craftsmanship but neither exactly popular or property known.'
