"... this wonderful album of unusual seasonal music from the Gabrieli Consort will make time stand still."
- Sinfini Music
"... arguably the most moving settings of these words written since Britten’s version ... I wish it was performed more often.”
- Gramophone
“... by no means a conventional Christmas disc ... tinsel and holly are nowhere in sight. It is, in the best sense, a challenging and hugely rewarding programme which has been put together thoughtfully and with discernment. The performances are absolutely first rate ..."
- MusicWeb International
This inspiring sequence of Christmas music, both ancient and modern, culminates in Britten’s virtuosic choral masterpiece, A Boy Was Born. Paul McCreesh leads the Gabrieli Consort, joined by the Trebles of Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir, on this evocative and contrasting collection of festive works that samples music from the 12th century to the present day.
