40: The Sixteen – The Sixteen & Harry Christophers

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of their inception,
vocal ensemble The Sixteen have released a new
album, 40: The Sixteen, comprising forty tracks –
one for each year of The Sixteen's lifespan.

The music draws on some of their milestone
moments and most celebrated tracks,
including Bach, Palestrina and Monteverdi.

Not only does this album showcase The Sixteen's
musical achievements, but it beautifully exhibits
some of choral music's most monumental works; a
brilliant way in for anyone looking to listen to more
classical music.
