Quintessential Choral Music for Christmas October 29, 2002
Richard J. Roberts (Indianapolis, IN USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This release consists of "Christmas Night" (Collegium 106) and "Christmas with the Cambridge Singers" (Coll 111). If you don't already have these two CDs, purchase this now! John Rutter is without peer as composer, arranger, and conductor of choral music, and these CDs are everything you could want in choral music for the holidays. The Cambridge Singers perform with flawless diction, tonality, and musicianship. The arrangements are rich and bubbly or pristine and elegant but always, always gorgeous. I also recommend "Christmas Day in the Morning" (Coll 123). Rutter's "Gloria" (Coll 100) is also stunning, and that CD includes some great examples of his non-Christmas work. Just listen to any of the Rutter samples you'll find here at Amazon, and I promise, you will be enchanted.
