Our CD gains great reviews in UK!
"Evidence of the vitality of young people's choirs around the world comes in the shape of three beautifully sung recitals, the challenging programming of which might tax even more experienced ensembles. The oldest group here, the Prague Philharmonic Children's Choir, dates from 1932, and during choirmaster Jiri Chvala's long tenure (he celebrates 50 years at its helm in 2017) its international profile has gone from strength to strength. Forty-eight of its 600-plus voices are heard to fine effect on an eponymously titled two-CD set of time- and genre-spanning pieces, with the lion's share given over to Czech composers. The luminous quality of seamlessly blended voices shines out in Holst's Ave Maria, Arvo Pärt´s Zwei Beter and Fauré's brittle Tantum ergo. But it's the Czech pieces that catch the ear here, with familiar works by Dvorak, Smetana and Martinu lent lustrous authenticity."
