From the Harmonia Mundi website:
"...Anonymous 4 returns with The Cherry Tree - an instant holiday music classic featuring medieval English carols and Anglo-American spiritual songs. It is the eighteenth original recording for the renowned vocal ensemble...".

"The Cherry Tree is named after the miracle ballad of Joseph and Mary, the earliest text of which survives from a Coventry Play from around 1400. The "Cherry Tree" story persisted in many forms, making its way into medieval British carols of the mid-15th century, and into British and American traditional ballads."

"Anonymous 4's trademark vocal blend, with its sparing use of vibrato and its careful dynamic gradations within phrases, suits this music beautifully. And three solo 'ballad-carols', along with the Americanized 'Cherry Tree Carol', showed that the singers are as powerful and communicative on their own as they are together."
 ~ The New York Times
