“…whatever the month or season, this disc is fine listening for those who appreciate splendid choral singing. It can now also serve as a tribute to the impressive career of Sir Stephen Cleobury.”

“A centenary celebration of a great British institution which has spread across the world, and a fitting (if accidental) memorial to Sir Stephen Cleobury…. It almost goes without saying that, in keeping with all King’s College Cambridge releases, the documentation is admirable in its elegance, authority and comprehensiveness, the illustrations provide a wonderful enhancement to the event, and essays from those associated with previous Nine Lessons and Carols services (including John Butt, Bob Chilcott, John Rutter, Judith Bingham and Sir Stephen himself) providing wonderful illumination on an event which stands as a glorious beacon of continuity and calm amidst an increasingly fractious and disturbed world.”
