This week, VOCES8 have taken over Spotify’s ‘The Classical Takeover’ playlist. Curating some of their favourite tracks, the playlist spans choral masterpieces by Byrd and Whitacre, to symphonic serenities by Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, as well as contemporary artists like Ólafur Arnalds. Their playlist also features performances by themselves, as well as their choral counterparts such as Tenebrae, The Sixteen and many more!

Award-winning artists featured include VOCES8, I Fagiolini, Stile Antico, The Swingles, The Sixteen (from Kings Place), The Gesualdo Six, Apollo5, Chanticleer (from San Francisco) and a special guest appearance by The Academy of Ancient Music.
