Rejoice In The Lamb must be one of Britten's least accessible works: it conveyed little to me until I had occasion to sing in the Chorus, whereupon it leapt to life, revealing the confused, intelligent, excited but fearful mind of Christopher Smart who wrote the work as a poem while he was confined in St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics between 1757 and 1763.

Robinson is directing a traditional Men and Boys Cathedral Choir here, and the clarity of diction is impeccable. The fast pace and the choir composition suit my own understanding of the piece and Rejoice In The Lamb is recorded in full
