This will be performed by luminatus vocal ensemble, 'a choir of exceptional ability', directed by David Bray. Each singer is an established soloist, creating a 'rich' and 'vibrant' sound. Their ground-breaking recent recordings have been hailed as 'excellent, and a 'remarkable achievement', breaking new ground in shining light onto some relatively unknown Renaissance pieces and music by contemporary composers, especially females.
