Our Take

In the hallowed halls of Durham Cathedral, where the acoustics are so divine even the pigeons sound like angels, the Choir of Durham Cathedral under the baton of Sir Lancelot Massey takes on James Macmillan's Missa Dunelmensis with gusto, flair, and a touch of cheeky charm.

This album is a sonic journey through the centuries, blending the ancient traditions of plainchant with Macmillan's contemporary twists and turns. The choir's voices soar to the heavens, creating a sound that is both ethereal and earthy, like a holy mixtape curated by the archbishop of cool.

Massey's direction is spot-on, guiding the choir through the complex harmonies and shifting dynamics with a steady hand and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. The singers follow his lead with precision and passion, never missing a beat or a chance to show off their vocal chops.

From the hauntingly beautiful Kyrie to the bombastic Gloria, each movement is a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing Macmillan's genius for combining sacred texts with modern musical sensibilities. This album is a must-listen for anyone who wants to be transported to a higher plane of musical existence, where the angels sing and the pigeons dance. Let the Choir of Durham Cathedral be your guide on this heavenly journey.
