Advent Live - Volume 3 - St John's College, Cambridge, The Choir Of - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The third album in our series of live recordings from our Advent Carol Services, including commissions by Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Helen Grime. Critical reception of our previous Advent albums includes the following:

Volume 1: “Under Andrew Nethsingha’s inspired direction, the choir has retained its renowned clarity, flamboyance and readiness to take risks”. Gramophone “Sung with typical St John’s verve and character, this superbly programmed collection will take your Advent listening in unexpected, but entirely apposite, directions”. BBC Music Magazine

Volume 2: “It is a real album, the mystery and expectation of Advent coursing through a repertoire that never stoops below this ensemble's judicious idea of what constitutes high-quality music, whatever the century... The qualities of the choir hardly need repeating”. Gramophone

“The fantastic balance of anthems, hymns and organ music leaps out in this arresting, fabulously performed Advent programme” BBC Music Magazine
