If you're looking for a traversal of Britten's choral works that contains consistently excellent performances, complementary sound, and includes works rarely heard in concert or on disc, don't hesitate to buy the three volumes recorded by The Sixteen. Volume 2 features the powerful and highly original cantata for choir, soloists, and organ, Rejoice in the Lamb, along with little-known works such as "The Sycamore Tree," a delightful a cappella carol composed in 1930 but not published until nearly 40 years later, the exciting "Antiphon" for chorus and organ, and "The Ballad of Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard," written during World War II for the brother of a friend who was imprisoned in Germany and wished to have a piece for male voices to perform. This is an essential disc for Britten fans and for all lovers of choral music. --David Vernier
