It is to England we go for the finest 'cathedral' Christmas disc of the year...Blessed with a particularly homogeneous and secure line-up of trebles
It says all you need to know about the joys of singing in a choir

Words, their colour and meaning, emerge as essential shaping forces in these engaging performances. This release stands out thanks to the commitment to quality and high artistic values shown here by St John's College Choir and Chandos
Ingenious in their phrasing and crystal clear in articulation ... the choir allows the music to breathe naturally and etch the text with captivating light and shade
