Music reviews of Essential Carols: The Very Best of King's College Choir, Cambridge

Music Review: Great old-time Christmas carols
Rating: 5 Stars

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Christmas carols. There is something about them that is so wonderful, yet so difficult to explain. When I saw this CD from one of my favorite choirs, I knew I wanted to check it out. I'm quite glad I did. David Willcocks does a great job conducting the famed choir. The arrangements are all fantastic; quite a few of the carols are heard in arrangements by Willcoks himself - he's a masterful arranger. Possibly the most memorable track on this "Double Decca" set is the last track on the second disc: Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia on Christmas Carols". King's College Choir is joined by the LSO (the London Symphony Orchestra, if you're new to Classical music) and baritone Hervey Alan.

There are a couple things the buyer should be aware of, however. First of all, these recordings are quite old. Some of them are from the '50s, I believe. So this is no "DDD" perfect recording. Secondly, this CD is not Kings College Choir's best Christmas album. For that, you will have to get their recording from the early '80s with Stephen Cleobury - O Come All Ye Faithful. Also, this is the same recording as Noel: Christmas at King's.

Still, I would recommend this album. Just don't get it expecting fabulous recorded sound or instead of O Come All Ye Faithful.
