Description
|
|
|
|
"Their commitment to what they are singing rings out with every note," writes Organists' Review of this disc's performers. "A Boy Was Born is imbued with more ravishing feeling than I would have thought possible." Other selections of Britten’s choral music for Christmastide include A Shepherd’s Carol; A Hymn to the Virgin, composed in 1930 to an anonymous medieval text, and Christ’s Nativity, a premiere recording of a fascinating work from Britten’s student days.
