Be the first to review this product

The British choral group, The Sixteen, are widely recognized as one of the world's finest choral groups and they have all the awards to prove it. On this CD, the group's founder and director, Harry Christophers, has chosen to celebrate Christmas music composed by Benjamin Britten, directing the choir in "A Ceremony of Carols" and "A Boy Was Born," as well as Britten's "Missa Brevis in D." Some of the pieces are accompanied by harp and organ. This CD should be in the collection of every admirer of Britten, The Sixteen and classical Christmas music.(69:37 2005)
