Format:MP3 Download
I bought the MP3 version of this from Amazon in early December and we played it throughout the Christmas period, and are still playing it into the new year.
Over 2 discs it has many of the favourite carols, plus a great selection of lesser-known pieces, all sung pitch-perfectly in a very gentle C of E style, with no drama, theatricals or show-boating. As such it is background music to potter around to, or eat Christmas dinner to, rather than music to actively listen to.
Playing this album turns our everyday house into a Christmas house, and for a few weeks a year that makes it worth every penny several times over.
An easy five stars.

Poor recording quality completely spoils this
I have another "Carols from King's" which I absolutely love. This, however, is a very poor second best, owing to the poor recording quality. Read more

Wonderful
Lovely recording and perfect for a car sing along. Some hiss on tracks. Great value for money and thoroughly recommend.

Essential Carols at King's
The price for this two CD set is very good on Amazon. Listen to King's College Choir sing carols. The way that the voices of the men and boys contrast sounds so beautiful,... Read more
