We all know and have heard performances of Handel's Te Deum and Jubilate for the Peace of Utrecht. I have never heard the Te Deum written by Croft. I believe there is one recording of it on the River People's site. I would be interested to know if any Forum Members know of this work or have heard it.

I don’t know the work so this may be off the target :
Here’s one CD.
The English Orpheus 15 - Croft Te Deum & Burial Service
The Choir of St Paul’s Cathedral & The Parley of Instruments, John Scott
…and here ‘s Ode for the Peace of Utrecht "With Noise of Cannon" by Netherlands Bach Society, Jos van Veldhoven, conductor

Doversoul,
Thanks, I am considering the Netherlands Bach Society recording. It has had some good reviews. I am unfortunately, not very familiar with William Croft's music.

I also was going to mention the St Paul's/John Scott/Parley of Instruments version, which I've got somewhere. I have also sung this Te Deum (the Te Deum in D) on more than one occasion, but is this the same as the Utrecht Te Deum? Sorry to be so ignorant on the matter. If you like Croft's music in general, there is a lovely LP produced by The National Trust (of all people) NT005. Whether it's available any more or in CD format, I do not know.

My research on the net leads me to believe that there are 2 Te Deum's. One in D and the Te Deum for Utrecht. The recording of the Utrecht Te Deum cites that it is the world premier recording of the work.

MickyD,
Thanks for the information, I will pick up the Hyperion disc. As you say it is on their budget label so a good buy.
