Angelic Voices: The Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral (2012 TV Movie) User Reviews

Beautiful, lyrical picture of song and youth

[SB100 · 10/10 · 13 April 2017]

What distinguishes this film from other documentaries about cathedrals, schools and so on is how seamlessly it manages to marry several elements - the human story of the boy and girl choristers, and the staff who look after them; the beauty of the environment they inhabit, the history and context of the choir, and the music which surrounds everything. It is unashamedly sentimental but also clear-eyed, and should be seen by anyone with an interest in choral music, or cathedrals, or just England.
