Westminster Cathedral Choir is acknowledged to be one of the finest choirs of its type in the world today. The establishment of a fine choral foundation was part of the original vision of the founder of Westminster Cathedral, Cardinal Herbert Vaughan, the then Archbishop of Westminster. Daily sung Masses and Offices were immediately begun when the cathedral opened in 1903, and have continued without interruption ever since. Although the choir is well known for a wide range of fine recordings, this is the first one of a liturgical Office to have been issued.
