"All I could say was 'Hoorah!', interspersed every now and again with 'Wow!': this is among the most beautiful and moving choral singing I have ever heard", so wrote Roger Nichols in his BBC Music Magazine review of the Danish National Vocal Ensemble's recording of Francis Poulenc. Comprised of 18 Danish best singers, this internationally-renowned ensemble is the professional choir of DR, the Danish national public-service broadcaster. Established in its present form in 2006, the choir is widely admired both for its virtuoso choral technique and the beauty of its pure Nordic sound. The group works regularly with leading international conductors and has had Marcus Creed as the director since 2014.
