"A Good Understanding," which will come out on the Decca Classics label, will feature six works by American composer Nico Muhly. "Nico's music is a fantastic fit with the Master Chorale," music director of the Los Angeles Master Chorale Grant Gershon says, "and Decca not only has wonderful resources and an international reputation, but shares many similar interests with us."

Accompanying the Master Chorale are organist Kimo Smith, the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, a string quartet, a brass octet and a trio of percussionists. Gershon had long hoped to record at Disney Hall, the Chorale's home since 2003. He says the (recording) session "allowed us to capture the experience our audience has of hearing our sound, a natural acoustic sound, in a space known for acoustic brilliance."
