🎵 Thank you to BBC Music Magazine for their review of our Andrew Downes CD! 🎶

"The three 'dramatic cantatas' on this new recording... fill an important gap in the growing Downes discography. The anti-nuclear war cantata 'A Child is Singing' shows the performers at their most effective... with evocative contributions from the Robinson Chapel Choir."

'Andrew Downes: Three Dramatic Cantatas' is now available worldwide on physical and digital formats.
