	Wandsworth School Boys' Choir (Boys' Choir) - Short History
		Wandsworth School’s existence spanned almost a century of educational reform and change, from its foundation in 1895, from being a grammar school, a technical college and then a community comprehensive school, before it closed and merged with Spencer Park school during the drastic secondary school reorganisation under the now defunct Inner London Education Authority (Ilea).
		Wandsworth School was founded in 1895 and developed under the 1902 Education Act as a grammar school, preparing boys for universities and the “learned professions”, according to an early prospectus.
		Russell Burgess’ sheer enthusiasm meant the boys competed hard to get into the choir — not least for their priority rights in the lunch queue when they were rehearsing.

	Wandsworth School Boys' Choir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In the late sixties and early seventies Wandsworth School Boys Choir flourished.
		(Wandsworth Boys' School was situated in Sutherland Grove in the London borough of Wandsworth.) Their director during this period was Russell Burgess.
		The choir used older pupils, 'old boys' and staff for the tenors and basses and ranged in size from the full choir containing more than 200 voices, a 'semi-chorus' choir of 60 voices and a 'Consort' choir of 20 voices.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: London
		During this time the new choir was being built and this was consecrated in 1240 in the presence of King Henry III, St. Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Cardinal Otho the Legate.
		Catholic schools include the college of the Brothers of Mercy at Highgate, the Benedictine School at Ealing, St. Ignatius's College, Stamford Hill, and the Sacred Heart College at Wimbledon, both conducted by the Jesuits, and the Salesian school at Battersea.
		In addition to the council schools there are a large number of "provided" schools established by Catholics or by the Church of England.

		Completing the disc are The Golden Vanity, a rumbustious tale of piracy and treachery on the high seas, and the Missa Brevis.
		This is only the second recording of Children's Crusade, after the Wandsworth School Boys Choir (Decca), the piece's dedicatee.
		But a new recording was surely long overdue, and the Christ Church boys enter into the theatrical spirit of both this and The Golden Vanity with gusto, and sing without a hint of cloistered preciousness.

	BCSD - Edit Wandsworth School Boys' Choir
		Russell (Brian) Burgess (1931-79) was appointed Director of Music in 1954 at this south London comprehensive school and formed a choir of about 240 boys which gave its first public concert in 1965.
		The choir sang at London concerts and at the Holland Festival and the Aldeburgh Festival, as well as making broadcsts and gramophone recordings.
		It seems to have disbanded soon after Burgess's death at the early age of 48 in August 1979.

		I noticed the boy's choir going sharp on a number of occassions and that's a shame.
		Always go for a boys choir if you can, but accept they might be more likely to wander off-key...
		The Decca sound is well up to the standard of the period (1971) and aside from some bumps and thumps in the long opening chorus,it's almost ideally warm and full-bodied.

		The brass are magnificent, the choir is right on top of the music, and the soloists are as erratic as the music.
		Excellent playing by this Danish Orchestra, extra-exuberant singing by the Danish Choir and Soloists; Glagolitic is supposed to be other-worldly and they most certainly pull this off.
		The Copenhagen Boys' Choir for Psalmus Hungaricus sang extremely well as did the soloists, such as Soprano Tina Kiberg, Tenor Peter Svensson, Alto Randi Stene, and Bass Ulrik Cold.

		Berlioz composition is both Grand (the full title is "Grande Messe des morts", or "Grand Mass for the Dead") and sublime, and Davis captures the sublime elements as few other conductors have ever done.
		The choruses (the London Symphony Chorus and the Wandsworth School Boys Choir) work together well, and the soloists are very fine.

		Only perhaps the classic Decca recording comes near equalling it in this respect, and that doesn’t quite have the electrifying atmosphere, what Reed calls ‘the remarkable spirit embodied in this exceptionally interesting and moving performance’, found on this astonishing occasion.
		Nor have the Wandsworth Boys’ Choir, placed up in the Hall’s gallery, been surpassed.

		Then in the third movement there is a hazy, nostalgic feel, but when muscularity is called for Horenstein is not found wanting.
		Clarity is the keynote in the fifth movement where the boys are a joy - sharp and cheeky - and then in the last movement Horenstein manages to bring out the drama and tension alongside great beauty and a sense of contemplation.

		Bach had written the work for boychoir, but most recordings (and live performances) use an adult female choir.
		In this recording, conductor Benjamin Britten chose to use the Wandsworth School Boys' Choir and they are exemplary: their voices never get into that whiny trebel we are used to hearing and their enunciation of the English language is beyond reproach.
		Britten as the conductor in this 1971 recording summons the brilliance of his cast, the Wandsworth Boy Choir, and the English Chamber Orchestra.

		War Requiem juxtaposes the Latin Requiem Mass, sung by the soprano soloist, the main chorus and the boys' choir, with settings of World War I poet Wilfred Owen, sung by tenor and baritone soloists with chamber orchestra.
		An outstanding historic reissue—indeed, a "BBC Legend." This surely is a more fitting tribute to Giulini, than the BBC Legends issue (4023) of Tchaikovsky's PathÈtique and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, mono recordings made about 8 years earlier that hardly present the distinguished conductor at his best.

		However, the present recording of Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac Op.51, made in 1957 as part of a release coupling the first three canticles, was never released.
		I must confess that this beautiful setting of words from the Chester Miracle Play is new to me and the excellent performance (and recording) is a most welcome novelty (or should I say rarity?).
		The present - and so far only - recording was made in 1970 with Britten and Russell Burgess conducting the Wandsworth School Boys' Choir (among the soloists was the then young Adrian Thompson) and a handful of players including Ian Cobb and John Clegg (pianos), Jonathan Smith (organ) and six percussion players.
