Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Few sounds are more evocative of a traditional Christmas than the Choir of King's College, Cambridge. Here the group is heard in the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, recorded for the first time complete with both carols and lessons included. The repertoire isn't just traditional: there are a number of contributions by contemporary composers Thomas Adès, Judith Weir and John Tavener, all of which are probing, sincere, even personal examples of their art (and some are daringly liberated, harmonically speaking). As a record of this much-loved annual event, the album is entirely to be cherished, although the downside for some listeners--at least on repeated hearings--is that the entire service is heard with congregational singing included. --David Patrick Stearns
