Peaceful Choir, the first album to be recorded by the World Choir for Peace, whose singers include two former Glastonbury students, was released last week and has been chosen as Classic FM's Album of the Week.

The recording was completed in March in Hanover, Germany, just hours before the country was put into lockdown.

Over the course of this week from 10.15am, Alexander Armstrong will be is airing tracks from the album in his morning show.

As we reported in our article of August 31, among the recording's 24 singers from around the world are Elizabeth Parsons and Helen Ostafew, former pupils of St Benedict's Junior School and St Dunstan's.

Sales of the CD, produced by Sony Classical, are said to be already going well.
