The Crown of Thorns
Eton Choirbook Vol II

The Crown of Thorns embodies the sacrifice at the heart of the passion story. Reflections such as the stabat mater text, a moving portrayal of the anguish of Christ's mother, unaware of the resurrection to come, at the foot of the cross.

"Foreigners were astonished at the quality of English choirs. Theirs were 'the voices of angels', a tribute which The Sixteen deserves no less today." - Classic CD

"The singing of The Sixteen was at once intense and effortless. the music breathes, in a deep, natural engagement." Country Life
