Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Between 1935 and 1981 a nativity play made up of music, readings and drama was presented at the family home of conductor John Eliot Gardiner in Fontmell Magma, Dorset. Gardiner's enterprising parents were apparently able to persuade local schoolchildren, farmers and farmhands, local actors and amateur musicians to prepare performances of 16th-century polyphony, readings of Milton, and French and German carols for the annual concert reconstructed on this disc (the readings are confined to the booklet text). Most of the material comes from the 16th century. There is little here that will be familiar to the casual listener. As one would expect from these artists, the singing is of the highest order--precise intonation, crisp articulation, wonderfully-balanced voices, deftly-shaped phrasing--but there is something missing, namely a serious lack of variety in mood (reflective and sombre dominate rather than joyous and celebratory) and texture (almost every item is an unaccompanied part-song). One wishes there were more than just four numbers underscored with cornet and sackbuts for they are enchanting, as is the plaintive solo sopranino recorder used in three items. It is, in short, a disc that commands admiration but not affection. --Jeremy Nicholas

4.0 out of 5 stars The clear light of Gardiner's Monteverdi Choir, 10 Jan 2000
By pi_us@yahoo.com (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
It's always beatufil the light that John Eliot Gardiner gives to the music. And, in this record, there's the wonderful Sara Mingardo's voice. A great discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Christmas record I come back to again and again, 5 Dec 2008
for its immaculate performance, choice of pieces and spiritual quality. There is music from all over Europe, from the middle ages to the twentieth century, yet the disc holds together as an experience, taking the listener through the Christmas story and meditating upon it. Few of the pieces are well-known, but all are worthy of inclusion.
