Reviewing the recording
Pierre Villette Choral Music
Hyperion CDA67539

 
 
This recording offers the most comprehensive compilation of Villette’s choral music in print. Layton’s interpretation skillfully supports the composer’s intent, especially in terms of text-music relationships. The Holst Singers’ diversity of tone color, pristine intonation, exploration of dynamic range, and nuances of rhythmic flexibility are consistently excellent…Layton’s balance of every tone in the twenty-part texture achieves an outstanding sonority, a highlight of the recording…I recommend this recording enthusiastically and without reservation.
