Digital Booklet

"... something that friends and relatives might like to sing along with ... traditional favourites done in colourful arrangements ... Breiner has tickled up the harmonies and tailored vivid new orchestral clothes ... but the tunes are still there to tempt us to tag along at home ... the singing and orchestral playing are full of good cheer."
- The Telegraph
This glorious collection of Christmas carols brings a touch of glamour to the holiday season, with Peter Breiner’s lavish arrangements for the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and Orchestra adding a fresh twist to familiar festive melodies. Breiner’s original carols complete the celebration.
