Perfect traditional Christmas
This is a collection of traditional Christmas carols and music from two of today's most respected choirs - The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, and The Sixteen. These performances are subtle and restrained ones from a quiet chapel rather than a Songs of Praise edition from Westminster Abbey, so they are perfect for a quiet sit-down on Christmas Eve or calming Christmas Day morning reflection on life before the work begins.

Enjoyable For The Festive Season Brilliant stuff to put on for Christmas. I was however unbelievably dissapointed when I found myself struggling to hear the carols.

an absolute delight Pop this on your sound system when the family's round for Christmas and I guarantee a hush will descend on the gathering.

A treasure trove for adults and children alike. This is what Christmas is about!
