Francis Jackson - York Minster

Review by Chris Tallant

York Minster, the latest album from the accomplished composer Francis Jackson, is a stunning tribute to the iconic cathedral in York, England. The album features a collection of choral works that were specifically composed for the cathedral, and showcases Jackson's exceptional talent for creating music that is both complex and deeply moving.

The album opens with the beautiful "Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis", which features soaring vocals and a rich, layered orchestral accompaniment. The piece is a perfect example of Jackson's ability to create music that is both grand and intimate, and it sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Other standout tracks on the album include "The Lord is My Shepherd", a hauntingly beautiful choral piece that showcases Jackson's skill at creating music that is both emotive and spiritual. "The Heavens Declare the Glory of God" is another standout track, featuring a powerful choral performance that is both uplifting and inspiring.

Summary by Chris Tallant

York Minster is a truly exceptional album that showcases Francis Jackson's incredible talent as a composer. Fans of choral music and classical music in general will find much to enjoy here, and the album is sure to become a cherished addition to any music collection. Highly recommended.
