An excellent reminder of the traditional sound of Christmas. - I bought this CD last Christmas and was enchanted with it. Some tracks have become firm favourites: Adeste, fideles, Es sungen drei Engel and the Queen s College Boar s Head Carol. I m so impressed with the CD I ve come back for more as a present for ex patriot friends.
Enjoyable - Not your standard Christmas offering, but a very pleasant introduction to a selection of earlier Christmas music and excellent reworking of familiar stuff - the first track is the best rendition of O Come All Ye Faithful I ve ever heard. Emma Kirkby has something of a choirboy sound and the combination of voices, especially on Es sungen drei Engel is lovely.A perfect way to prepare for Christmas.
