Notes & Reviews:

This new, live, complete recording of the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols from Christmas Eve 2008 includes traditional hymns, modern carols, old favorites and new voices, all combining to convey the experience, at once homely and transcendent, of a service known and loved around the world. The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is broadcast live on the radio worldwide every year and the release of this 2-CD coincides with the celebration of the University of Cambridge's 800th Anniversary. The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge is the world's most famous choir and one of today's most accomplished and renowned representatives of the great British choral tradition. The Choir dates back to the 1400s and consists of 16 choristers and 14 choral scholars.

"This double CD is a live recording of the 2008 service and includes the customary mixture of the familiar and not so familiar, all carefully chosen to focus the mind and spirit on this great festival of the Church's year... this is a fine souvenir of a memorable occasion." -MusicWeb-International
