Digital Booklet
|
"Crystalline beauty ... every voice part is constantly alert to the expressive possibilities of the music and crafts it all with care and musicality ... youthful, festive joy ..."
- Sinfini Music
"The programme has been shrewdly chosen and though it includes a sprinkling of familiar pieces there is a pleasing amount of music that is less well known. More pleasing still, all the latter pieces prove to be well worth hearing. It is probably superfluous to say that the performances by Tenebrae are top class, but they are."
- MusicWeb International
Award-winning choir Tenebrae celebrate the holidays under the expert direction Nigel Short with this sumptuous collection of carols, hymns and other works, both old and new. This programme, a breath of fresh air at Christmas, heralds the extraordinary talents of some of the most dedicated and less well known figures in English choral music.
