The Ambrosian Singers
Biography
Among the best-known London choral groups for many years, the Ambrosian Singers was particularly notable for its work in opera and was sometimes known as the Ambrosian Opera Chorus or Ambrosian Light Opera Chorus. The group emerged from the early music movement in Britain after World War II, but it expanded greatly in both size and repertory. The Ambrosian Singers had a large recording catalog that included several well-loved holiday releases. The group's recording career dates back to the '50s; they made an early appearance backing countertenor Alfred Deller on his 1957 recording of Monteverdi's Il Ballo delle Ingrate and Lamento d'Arianna. The group disbanded in 2009, but the choir's music has continued to appear in reissues, including a 2024 album devoted to Neville Marriner, The Distinguished Conductor.
