Digital Booklet
|
|||||
"... offers some fresh thinking on some old favourites, sung with admirable clarity by the Danish National Vocal Ensemble, supported by some scurrying descants from the woody-toned recorders of Michala Petri."
- The Guardian
"Everything about this release is perfect: the purity and precision of the choral singing, the traditional but never hackneyed selections, the total lack of arranger-perpetrated bombast and cleverness that can afflict such enterprises, the charming addition of the recorder in descant, the extraordinarily open and natural sound and the attractive presentation."
- Fanfare
Recorder player Michala Petri and the Danish National Vocal Ensemble present timeless Christmas melodies, both the instantly familiar and the less well known. Composer and arranger Michael Bojesen has selected hymns and carols from across the centuries and around the world, adding a touch of extra holiday joy with the soaring descants of Petri's recorder, shining brightly like the star atop a Christmas tree.
