Album Description

Top of the British Classical Charts for 10 Weeks! Billboard Top Ten Classical Recording - December 2002! This album gathers together most of the carols I have composed over the years, plus a sprinkling of my arrangements of traditional carols, grouped to form a program which narrates, reflects upon, and celebrates the Christmas story. I have always enjoyed carols ever since I first sang them as a member of my school choir, and it was not long before I began to write carols of my own-in fact my first two published compositions were the Nativity Carol and the Shepherd's Pipe Carol. For any musician involved in choral music, Christmas is an especially joyous time, and I am indeed happy that it has played a part in my musical life for so many years- JOHN RUTTER

Rutter Christmas Album.......2007-05-14

Great selection of music, and well presented. This is however older recordings that do not match the quality of Rutter's latest recordings such as the Te Deum or the Gloria.

Unique and Beautiful!.......2007-03-09

John Rutter, and his beautiful music, is such a gift to the world. This unique Christmas CD is magnificent! Especially touching are two of Rutter's original carols, "Christmas Lullaby" and the joyful "Angels' Carol." The musical selections speak to the soul, helping the listener connect to emotions of joy, peace, faith, hope, and love. This is a worthy addition to your collection of Christmas CDs.

Johh Rutter Chirstmas Album.......2007-02-19

If I were to choose only one Christmas album to ever own, this would be the one. John Rutter is an exceptional composer of religious music, with unusual harmonies. The music is difficult to sing, and because this is his own choir and he is directing it, the performance is flawless. Gives you goosebumps.

Liked it enough to go through a lot of trouble to give it a review........2007-02-07

Great music by John Rutter: Great performance!

John Rutter and Cambridge Singers.......2007-01-18

This is quintessential English cathedral music; beautifully sung. Reminds one of the English Christmas -- warm and serene -- that we've only experienced in our dreams!

John Rutter: Music for Christmas.......2007-01-16

Excellent Christmas CD. I especially liked the "Angles Carol" track!
Would recommend this CD to one and all.

"Mr. Choral Christmas's Finest".......2002-11-21

Anyone who truly loves the choral and carol traditions of Christmas cannot miss Mr. Rutter's work. He is truly possessed of extraordinary talent and this fine recording puts it on proper display. The collection here houses the best of Mr. Rutter's original/edited works for the Christmas season, and one can sense the composer's affinity for the spirit of the holidays of which he has written so prolifically and well.

At the Top of My Christmas Playing List!.......2001-12-07

This is just an outstanding collection of choral, Christian selections. The majority are composed by Rutter, who it turns out was led into this field for which he is so well known and loved when in school, he was motivated by a fellow student who was composing a Christimas carol to do the same. Thanks be to God for that motivation!

Rutter's work simply in this humble reviewer has no other contemporary peer. He is reverent, fresh and excellent theology to boot! This collection has his best, including my favorites: "Shepherd's Pipe Carol, What Sweeter Music, The very best time of year, Angels' Carol."

To his compositions, added is Kirkpatrick's "Away In a Manger" and of course, Gruber's "Silent Night", both skillfully arranged and performed. Bonus selections of traditional pieces such as "I Wonder as I wonder."

The City of London Sinfonia conducted by Stephen Layton provides the orchestra background marvelously for Polyphany, the outstanding choir on this work.

You will be delighted to add this CD to your collection, and it will rise in most collections to near the top.
Well worth

Very moving music!.......2007-01-18

I bought this CD after I downloaded a sample from Amazon's free mp3 downloads. The selection of songs is no less than magic. There are many different feels, and one of the songs my 13 year old daughter and I describe as "what happiness looks like". I definitely recommend it. I was out looking on Amazon today for other Yankee Celtic Consort CD's and didn't find any. We're huge fans now and hope to see more work by this band in the future!

The best Celtic album in my personal collection!.......1999-05-28

It's funny that I should see this here today...cuz I was just telling someone a few hours ago that I bet I have listened to this album 350-400 times over the last year. I have never been a huge fan of Celtic (although I sometimes hear Thistle and Shamrock on NPR), but I just love this album! They have some upbeat stuff and some quiet stuff...a really nice mix. "Nubiles of the Negev" makes me smile when I hear it...it feels like a Middle Eastern bluegrass thing. "Arran Boatsong" is this haunting melody that just rolls around in my head sometimes. "Keelhaulin the Bosn" makes me think of ships sailing out of a harbor. But I think my favorite is either "No Worries" or "Blackberry Blossom"...depending on my mood. The first one is really quiet and lovely. The second one just pulls you along on a big train of sound. Oh, and I have heard a few people's versions of "Star of the Country Down", but this is my favorite. I have turned a lot of my friends on to this album. Really, really good!

My favourite christmas songs on one cd!.......2003-07-16

I love Christmas music sung by cathedral choirs. This cd sung by the Westminster Cathedral choir is one of the best. Ian Simcock on the organ is great. The trebles are fantastic, Mark Kennedy does a solo on "Once in royal david's city" and Aaron webber on "in the bleak midwinter". "In dulci jubilo" is sung for unaccompanied choir. Stephen Alder, baritone does a beautifull job on "Three kings" . There is also "Of the fathers love forgotten" one of the great mass hymns. The plainsong melody is in "Piae Cantiones". "Sing lullaby" another tremendous hymn is the last of the three carol anthems of the year 1918-1920 by Herbert Howells. Actually they are all wonderfull. I can't forget to mention "0 come, o come, emmaniel" the advent carol which is the fervent plea to the saviour to come and redeem mankind. This was arranged by James O'Donnel. The spirit is one of quiet assurance and timeless devotion. Which is how he conducts this collection of timeless carols.

Heavenly.......2003-02-25

Out of all the many 100's of choral cds mentioned in the Penguin and Gramophone CD Guides, there are precisely only two that get both a Penguin rosette and a Gramophone award. Both these CDs are on the Hyperion label (CDA66114 and CDA67017), both are radiantly beautiful, and both are by the same choir - the Westminster Cathedral Choir.

That should be more than enough recommendation for this excellent collection of carols by the same choir. The voices are angelic, the organ accompaniment is just right, the arrangements are both musical and subtle, and the Cathedral acoustic adds just the right air of sacredness. Heavenly.
