This year marks the 150th anniversary of the consecration of the ‘new’ chapel at St John’s College, Cambridge. Sir George Gilbert Scott’s high Victorian creation replaced the ‘old’ chapel that dated from Tudor times. This celebratory recording is also the choir’s 100th disc, appearing 60 years after George Guest’s ground-breaking album, Hear My Prayer. Guest went on to make a total of 42 discs with the choir on the Argo label, which are now available as a Decca box set.
