5.0 out of 5 stars I understand the words!, December 18, 1999

This review is from: Britten: Ceremony of Carols (Audio CD)

First time I've heard a recording of this where I not only loved the brilliance and clarity of the music, but I could understand the words. Very crisp, very lovely. Even though I own another CD of this piece, I'm ordering this version.
