Now, your views!!!

A rather odd thing to try to rate them. Would anyone start the other way round and publish the worst cathedral choirs? Things change, tastes are different. From the standpoint of music enhancing the liturgy, they are all working AMDG one supposes. I wonder if He would publish a running order?

Shame that Westminster Cathedral's entry is illustrated with a YouTube performance by Worcester Cathedral Choir!

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

League tables of this kind are pointless and meaningless. It’s like saying “Who is the greatest composer?”

Risable journalese.

One of those arrogant "We name the best..." things from BBC Music Magazine, I presume.

YES!! I noticed that.

Got to say, I think this crude 'rating game' is tosh - wondered if other For3 correspondents would think same or different.

Surprised not to see Winchester, Chichester and Christ Church Cathedral Choirs on there.

[Vox Humana]

I wholeheartedly agree with the general sentiment expressed on this thread. There are good things going on in so many places.

'Here is a list of some choirs.'

[inquires]

These type of ratings are absolute drivel, not to mention they are using video clips without permission or even the courtesy of an ask.

Totally agree.
I posted it because it seemed to me to be merest vanity. This comment board has more expertise in the field than most.
