Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Just about all of the seasonal favourites are here on a disc of carols that exudes a decidedly Christmassy glow. What makes this one stand out from the crowd of festive offerings is the standard of the performances from the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, which sings with a superb sense of ensemble, perfect tuning and crystal clear diction under Richard Marlow. The solo treble who begins "The Holly and the Ivy" gently eases the listener in to the 80-minute-long programme. Marlow takes an almost devotional approach to some carols (notably "Away in a Manger" and "While Shepherds Watched"). The account of "God rest ye merry, gentlemen" is warm and affectionate, traits that could be said to characterise the disc as a whole. The various arrangements by David Willcocks are as familiar and welcoming as an old pair of slippers: one never tires of their imagination and finesse. A disc of traditional Yuletide offerings, this disc is admirably recorded and performed with real affection by one this country's top choirs. --Colin Clarke

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas style, 5 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This is just a wonderful CD. All the usual favourites and some other original choices (all of which were wonderful discoveries for me - There is no Rose by John Joubert is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard). The justly-famous Trinity College Choir sing with fantastic elegance in performances that seem to breathe sensitivity and musicality. The crystal-clear quality of the diction and the warmth of the sound make this the finest Christmas choral disc I own (and there are a few to choose from!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas carols just as they should be sung, 7 Dec 2001
By A Customer
A wonderful collection of Christmas Carols - by far my favourite carols disc of all of the CDs in my collection. The choir sing beautifully throughout and the repertoire is perfect with all the real favourites here - plus one or two extras that although are not as familiar to me, are equally as delightful. Well done to Classic FM for bringing out an uncompromisingly traditional, authentic and beautiful album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional with a capital T., 20 Dec 2006
No one looking for traditional British carols will be disappointed with this recording. Cambridge produces good choirs that produce the best renditions of carols possible. There's a real christmas feel about this collection from Trinity college. The recording quality lacks some airiness, but is good nevertheless.
