“Guest directs the excellent St.John’s College Choir with sensitivity and fervour and a high standard is attained ... smaller pieces are equally satisfying, notably deeply devotional and miraculously fresh singing in Bach’s Jesu, joy, and Mozart's Ave verum corpus ... with Britten’s rare genius for setting words to music” (Gramophone)
