The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, directed by Richard P.Condie. Alto reissue, 2015. This popular American Choir, founded in 1873, has been referred to as ‘America’s Choir’. Its twin legacies are well-sampled here: songs from both sides of their Civil War, and favourite hymns, in recordings from 1958-62.
