RECORDINGS OF THE CHAPEL CHOIR OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE This is a comprehensive list of recordings made by the choir, and issued on CD, since its 'reformation' by the last Director of Music, Richard Marlow, as a mixed SATB choir following admission of women undergraduates to the College in the mid-80s. The first CD releases were on the Conifer label - but this label has since experienced a number of mergers or take-overs with and by other record ompanies and the majority of these recordings are no longer in 'current' catalogues. These titles may possibly be available either new or second-hand from sellers such as Amazon, and during 2009, Sony Classical Music began to reissue some of these titles – concentrating first on anthologies and compilations. They are, without exception, well worth obtaining if you can! The designation 'C' indicates that the title is available in the current catalogue of the listed record label. The Chandos, Hyperion, Griffin and Gothic releases are also available for download from the companies' catalogue websites. As mentioned above, from time to time, Amazon shows used copies available on a number of titles - often imported from a US source and frequently at an expensive price! E-bay is another source which has proved fruitful at times This listing is limited to those recordings issued on CD, and does not include vinyl LPs or any Compact Cassette issues. Most of two early Pearl LPs are reissued as 'Anthems from Cambridge' (see the Griffin CD in the listing), while a further two LPs have yet to be transferred to CD (and this is unlikely). Two further GMN CDs were produced from live performances - but on a special, ‘to order’, basis. They were GMNBC 0306 from the June, 1996 Spitalfields Festival and GMNBC 0316 of a 1998 performance of the Fauré Requiem from the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Along with the special CD made of Richard Marlow’s ‘farewell’ Evensong in Chapel, these have not been included in the list as they were never available on a fully ‘commercial’ basis. A number of compilations are listed. These are all ‘Trinity only’ titles compiled from other recordings in the listing. Individual tracks also appear on several more compilations along with other artists - but these are not included. From 2008, the recordings are those made with the current Director of Music, Stephen Layton and are on the Hyperion label. Further details of these and links to reviews etc. can be found on the Choir website http://www.trinitycollegechoir.com/ We are indebted to Iain Ward-Campbell who compiled this listing, and also to Nick Sanders who was a mine of information about a number of the items in the listing as well as most of the 'oddball' items mentioned above, and who also checked the data for accuracy. The list is sorted by release date and was last revised on 27 January 2014. Composer Title Content and comment Date of recording Orig.
