Magnificat 3 is the third in a series of recordings covering British settings of the Magnificat - Nunc dimittis pair (there are seven settings here, plus one non-British Nunc dimittis setting by the Pavel Chesnokov, as a curtain-raiser). It may also be the last, given that director Andrew Nethsingha has departed the Choir of St. John's Cambridge. On the surface, it sounds like a specialized program and like a lot of Magnificats, but these recordings repay close listening and illuminate the thinking of the individual composers; its appeal lies exactly in how the common texts serve to differentiate the approaches. There is a three-generation teacher-student chain here, from Charles Villiers Stanford to Herbert Howells to Bryan Kelly, and works by the other composers include other interesting features. The pair by Kenneth Leighton has an unusually close, rigorous interaction between the choir and the cathedral's magnificent organ, while that by Philip Moore, who wrote 21 Magnificat settings, has an attractively minimal quality in its solos. Plainly, this is not an album for those without an interest in British choral music, but it is decisively recommended to those who do have that interest, and it landed on classical best-seller charts in the spring of 2023.
