Requiem
May 2024
Tenebrae
Conductor: Nigel Short
Organ: George Herbert; Richard Gowers
​
​
That it’s exquisitely sung by Nigel Short’s Tenebrae could reasonably be taken for granted, but they’re in exceptional form here, conveying a conviction that, even in the fearful unknown, there is hope.
Brian Morton, Choir & Organ

Advent Live 3
November 2023
The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge
Conductors: Andrew Nethsingha, George Herbert
Organ: George Herbert, James Anderson-Besant, Joseph Wicks
​
​
The singing is uniformly excellent and the range of material from the 15th century “Nowel, nowel. Owt of your slepe” to the contemporary setting of “O virgo virginum” … gives a pleasing mix without anything sounding jarringly out of place.
Cross Rhythms
New Millennium
August 2023
The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge
Conductor: Andrew Nethsingha
Organ: George Herbert
​
​
George Herbert, winner of the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition 2023, skilfully negotiates the virtuosic complexities of some of the organ accompaniments, dazzles in two movements from Iain Farrington's 'Fiesta!' and contributes two further solo pieces
Claire Stevens, Choir & Organ

Magnificat 3
March 2023
The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge
Conductor: Andrew Nethsingha
Organ: George Herbert
​
​
This ongoing series has not only been a beautifully prepared and sung tribute to the Anglican canticle tradition, but also to Andrew Nethsingha’s brilliant leadership of music at St John’s

The Psalms
September 2022
The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge
Conductor: Andrew Nethsingha
Organ: George Herbert, Glen Dempsey, James Anderson-Besant
​
​
Nethsingha knows what he wants from choir, microphones – and organist: there are no dramatic contrasts or solo-stop gimmicks here, just that air-cushion of sound and the St John’s speciality of coupling changes in chant together via the celestial thread of a single organ note.
Andrew Mellor, Gramophone
