“Years ago the British magazine, Gramophone, published a list of the world’s 20 top choirs. Most of these were from the UK, the rest from Europe. No American choirs made the list, not even Chanticleer. If that list were to be redone for 2018, Skylark would be a serious contender"
Tony Way, Limelight Magazine (Australia)

Rachmaninoff All-Night Vigil (2019) - LIVE from St. Paul Parish, Cambridge

"Some concerts are so deeply moving that they act as a balm, traveling straight from the stage to your heart. Such was Sunday’s concert [at St. Paul Parish]. It was a performance that, even judged by this outstanding ensemble’s customary standard, was unusually brilliant."
The Arts Fuse

Skylark's performance of Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil (‘Vespers’), in October 2019, was the first ever collaboration of its kind: a GRAMMY-Award nominated vocal ensemble combining forces with three incredible, world-renowned basso profundos to present the masterpiece for a cappella choir. This album is the group's first LIVE performance release, and was recorded at St. Paul Parish in Cambridge, MA on October 27, 2019.

Seven Words from the Cross (2018)

"The ensemble is excellent, the solos beautifully taken, and the whole sequence is thoughtfully designed and luminously recorded"
BBC Record Review

Conceived for Skylark's international debut on the evening of Good Friday at Tenebrae's prestigious Holy Week Festival in London, this highly original album progresses through the scriptural seven last words of Christ on the Cross. This dramatic recording features uniquely American choral works and choral music from other regions of the world, pairing the music of William Billings and the Sacred Harp with the music of contemporary composers Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Jaakko Mäntyjärvi. Skylark recorded this album for international release in partnership with the GRAMMY Award-winning Sono Luminus label. The Sono Luminus package for Seven Words from the Cross includes both CD and Pure Audio Blu-ray with 9.1 Auro-3D and 5.1 Surround Sound.

Winter's Night (2017)

“The singing by Skylark’s 12 voices is of the highest standard for any area or any repertoire....I loved it. Strongly recommended.”
Classics Today

Late in 2016, after Skylark’s third year of performing an ever-evolving Christmas concert based around the music of Hugo Distler, our friends and supporters urged us to consider recording our unique program. As 2017 marked the 75th anniversary of Distler’s passing, it seemed to be a perfect time to create this recording. Structured around Distler's seven variations of the hymn Es ist ein Ros Entsprungen (Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming), Winter’s Night is a serenely beautiful album that marks our inaugural recording for the Christmas season.
