Christmas At Kings College

A collection of the choral works most often performed as part of the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings College Cambridge every Christmas Eve.

Selected by musical director Stephen Cleobury to include familiar carols, some of the finest anthems as well as a selection from the annual special commissions.

'An interesting collection, and don't be put off by the standard of King's; there's plenty here that more modest choirs could use.' - Jonathan Wikeley, Music Teacher November 2009
