Exultate Singers' second CD, A Time For Singing was recorded and produced by John Rutter. The CD was released in November 2008.
"This is a terrific mixed bag of a programme, designed to show off the considerable qualities of the Exultate Singers under their founding conductor, David Ogden. With music from Byrd and Victoria to Britten and Bob Chilcott, there's something for everyone. This 40-strong chamber choir based in Bristol sounds confident in just about anything they perform here; the blend and balance is admirable, and only very occasionally is there the slightest moment of less than perfect tuning. The resonant recording venue occasionally blurs their words, but this is to quibble. Warmly recommended. 4 stars."
Philip Reed, Choir & Organ magazine, May/June 2009
