A Christmas Festival derives from concerts John Rutter has directed at the Royal Albert Hall. The sparkling fanfare introducing O Come, all ye faithful, gives a typical flavour. Rutter gleefully using the full resources of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to light the soundstage up with seasonal glitter. There are plenty of more contemplative settings, too, not least Bob Chilcott's tender Shepherd's Carol and Rutter's own Ave Maria. - BBC Music Magazine
