Product Description
Review
Familiar-sounding while still ticking the something different box. A welcome resurrection of under-performed British gems, sung and played with great warmth. --Classic FM Magazine
''Has Finzi's In Terra Pax been done better on disc? Williams is a deeply sympathetic soloist…..musical ingredients… blended with consummate artistry.'' --IRR (Christopher Cook, December 2009)
''It's not often I get into the spirit of Christmas, but a new recording of Finzi's In Terra Pax is something to be celebrated and shared. The City of London Choir's disc superbly catches the visionary quality of this music.'' --Gramophone (John Allison, December 2009)

Beautiful Christmas Music,
By
This review is from: In Terra Pax - A Christmas Anthology (Christmas Music By Holst/ Finzi/ Howells/ Leighton/ Rutter/ Vw-Sc) (Audio CD)
A beautiful collection of Christmas music - a must for everyone's stockings! A collection including Holsts cleverly interweaved well known carols as well as some shorter works such as the very popular 'what sweeter music' by John Rutter.
The City of London Choir make a beautiful sound - this is a cd well worth owning - and what a bargain too!

Cracking ensemble,
By PrincessofWails "Zig" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Terra Pax - A Christmas Anthology (Christmas Music By Holst/ Finzi/ Howells/ Leighton/ Rutter/ Vw-Sc) (Audio CD)
The Finzi is the fulcrum & star item in this attractive collection of (mostly) lesser known Christmas pieces. Hilary Davan Whetton is a genius at selecting young singers at the outset of their careers; Julia Doyle & Roderick Williams are clear & fresh. Praise not only to the soloists, but to the Choir - and to the BSO.A delightful addition to my Christmas collection, and warmly recommended for purchase - in fact, I'm going to buy a couple of copies as gifts!

Beautiful music for Christmas,
By
This review is from: In Terra Pax - A Christmas Anthology (Christmas Music By Holst/ Finzi/ Howells/ Leighton/ Rutter/ Vw-Sc) (Audio CD)
I've been waiting for this CD to be released for a while now, and it doesn't disappoint. The choir delivers a beautiful homogenous sound, supported by some fantastic solo voices. The pieces are well-selected, with a nice range, and the Finzi's In Terra Pax of the title is truly stunning. Well worth the very small price tag!
