(Gästriklands Tidning/Upplands Nyheter)
A fabulous compilation of festive orchestral music, including The Night before Christmas, the famous Christmas poem by Clement Clarke Moore, set to music by Philip Lane. On this brand new recording it is narrated by Stephen Fry.
This disc features a selection box of orchestral Christmas music by a wide selection of composers, ranging from the traditional romantic (Liszt and Massenet), to the more contemporary composers (Carwithen, Carmichael and Lane).
This music is performed by the BBC Singers, lavishly praised by Classics Today in a recent release: "The BBC Singers are expectedly flawless in their technical mastery of these difficult works, and whether the score calls for huge dynamic outbursts, sustained periods of discord and unrest, or moments of tender lyricism the ensemble proves assured and solidly focused."
