When Sir Michael Tippett first worked with the BBC Singers in 1944, the experience was such that he recalled nearly 50 years later that "It was to be the first of many such occasions when a composer's dreams were brought to fulfillment."
Now under their Conductor Laureate, Stephen Cleobury, the present-day BBC Singers return the compliment with this programme of his works for choir, both unaccompanied and with organ.

The Gramophone
"In 1994 Tippett wrote 'in my first encounter with the professionalism of the BBC singers [1994] , I was immediately taken aback by their speed of learning and range of vocal skills' ... The BBC Singers have a remarkable ability to create immensely varied colours, something all too rare in most choirs... This is a hugely recommended disc. Tippett knew his dreams were being brought to fulfilment in 1944. In 2007, they still are"
