"London Voices is the dream team of choral virtuosi. They combine a beautiful sound with peerless technical command, intonation and rhythm in any number of the most intricate scores. "

"It was for them that I composed the large choral role in my Nativity oratorio 'El Niño', and their performances at the world premiere in Paris and later in Berlin, Amsterdam and London, will remain forever in my memory. "

"Terry Edwards, friend, enthusiast and master director of this marvelous ensemble has brought the art of choral singing to a new level, and we, conductors and composers alike, are much in his debt."

"I am very thankful both to Terry Edwards and the London Voices not only for their excellent recordings of my vocal works, the acappella choruses, the Requiem and my opera Le Grand Macabre, but also for the many concert performances of these and other works.

It was always a joy to work with these devoted singers."

" I have had the extreme good fortune to work with Terry Edwards and The London Voices on all of the recordings of "The Lord of the Rings" in the past three years.

Whether singing in Black Speech, Quenya, Sindarin or Olde English, the London Voices are true professionals and a joy to work with. I look forward to collaborating with Terry on many future projects. "

"This was the first time I had collaborated with London Voices and I had never heard a chorus this powerful and soulful before.

I was very impressed by the power of the chorus, which held its own even against the full orchestra with brass section, and I was very moved by them.

Terry Edwards and Ben Parry rehearsed the choir excellently and I was very pleased to watch them enjoying their work so much, while approaching their singing with the utmost seriousness.

The theme of “Beyond the World” – Movement III of “The End of the World” – is very serious as it deals with the world after 9/11. The song couldn’t have come to full life without London Voices and, as a composer, it was a great pleasure to me to see and hear my work brought to complete fulfilment.

I hope I can work with London Voices in the future again. "
