Its recording with Conductor Laureate Joseph Flummerfelt, Heaven to Earth, is available internationally on the AVIE label.  Praised by Classical Music Web for its “expert choral artistry” and by Classics Today.com as “a thought-provoking and multi-faceted exploration,” the recording originated with the ensemble’s 2002 PRI radio broadcast reflecting on the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  It includes Agnus Dei, a choral setting of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Arnold Schoenberg’s demanding Friede auf Erden.

Praised by critics for its “full-bodied, incisive singing” (The New York Times), the Westminster Choir also forms the core of the Westminster Symphonic Choir, which has performed and recorded with the leading conductors and orchestras of our time.
