Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on Christmas Carols

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
from: Chandos

Release Date October 02, 2006
This is a truly wonderful recording of the Christmas music of one of the greatest British classical composers of all time Ralph Vaughn Williams performed beautifully by The City Of London Sinfonia under the direction of one of my favourite conductors,Richard Hickox.
The soloists and the choir of The Joyful Company of Singers are magnificent. Sarah Fox (soprano) and Roderick Williams (baritone) sing their parts with great expression and feeling for the music. The clarity of this recording is outstanding - one can hear every word that is sung and every sensitive note that is played due to the marvellous balance of this recording.

I have heard these works performed many times but this is by far the best recording I have heard. ... Read More:

Christmas Album [Us Import]

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
by: Il Divo

Release Date October 25, 2005
This new album will be loved by Il Divo fans, and is the perfect introduction to those who have not discovered them yet. From the familiar hymns (the a cappella first verse of Adeste Fideles takes your breath away, and Panis Angelicus is straight from heaven) to the Christmas songs we all love, and the new and wonderful Rejoice, Il Divo does not disappoint. And their soaring harmonies prove once again that Il Divo truly is an orchestra of voice.

Carols and Capers

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
by: Maddy Prior

Release Date November 04, 1991
Maddy has long been an important figure in the British folk music scene, whether as lead singer of Steeleye Span, as a solo singer or (as on this album) with The carnival band, who specialise in medieval and other traditional music.
This collection of Christmas music is not a typical Christmas album - it draws heavily on old and largely forgotten songs. The range of instruments used is as unusual as the songs - they even include recorders. I thought recorders were just use to teach children to learn to play an instrument - but here they are.

First the familiar - there are three songs here which will be instantly recognisable to everybody - Away in a manger, Joy to the world and I saw three ships. While shepherds watched is a standard ... Read More:
