除了演唱傳統的合唱曲,合唱團也十分支持當代作品的演出,他們曾錄製Gorecki, Part, Tavener, Penderecki, Stravinsky, Panufnik等人的作品。並曾委任Richard Rodney Bennett, Alexander Goehr, Nicholas Maw, John Rutter, Stephen Dodgson, James Macmillan, 及Stephen Paulus等作曲家為其創作。
這套全集共29張CD,收錄合唱團早年在DECCA旗下Argo唱片的所有錄音,其中包含6張首度發行CD的專輯,涵蓋吉本斯、拜爾德、巴哈、塔弗納、海頓、韓德爾、帕勒斯替納、泰利斯、裴高雷西、韋瓦第、郝威爾斯、佛漢-威廉士、布羅等人的作品。英國皇家首席音樂顧問戴維斯(Sir Peter Maxwell Davies)認為樂團是「人類文明的無上榮耀」,泰晤士報樂評也表示:「我很樂意餘生都坐在國王學院禮拜堂裡聆聽他們歌唱」。體驗最能代表英國教會音樂的合唱典範,這套錄音絕對是惟一珍藏。
