John Rutter, The Cambridge Singers, City of London Sinfonia - The Cambridge Singers Christmas Album

One of the only Christmas albums you'll ever need. John Rutter selects some of his favourite Christmas carols, old and new, from classic Cambridge Singers recordings, including several of his own arrangements and never-before-released gems, closing with Vaughan Williams' majestic Fantasia on Christmas Carols.

John Rutter brings conviction to this robust reading and Stephen Varcoe adds much to the emotional dimension. The programme of carols is an attractive plus. - Gramophone

This is the holiday disc of the year, a slice of merry old English tradition at its best - AllMusic
