Gramophone - The 20 Greatest Choirs



Gramophone - The 20 Greatest ChoirsTrinity College Choir named the
5th best choir in the world by Gramophone


For their January 2011 Gramophone magazine invited a panel of the world's leading critics to create a list of the 20 greatest choirs in the world.

Trinity College Choir was named the fifth best choir in the world and praised for their ‘150 per cent commitment to the music’.

The top five choirs were:

1 - The Monteverdi Choir
2 - Polyphony
3 - The Cardinall’s Musick
4 - The Sixteen
5 - The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge

"It's only a few years since Stephen Layton - who appears further up the list with Polyphony - took over as Director of Music at Trinity College. In that time, numerous recordings, not least that of music by David Briggs, have revealed what an accomplished, committed choir they are."
