"ON CHOSEN HILL" - Chamber Music by Herbert Howells
Lyric Quartet - Andrew West - Michael Collins

One of Metier's first issues, and re-issued by demand, this CD is valuable to lovers of English music because Howells' music is still under-rated and ignored.  The very fine musicians help to make this an essential recording.

“It’s all wonderfully handled… individual players eloquently cut through the textures just as the score requires. An air of warm pastoral spirituality lovingly conveyed” – Rob Barnett (MusicWeb)
