This review is from: Child of Light: Music for Christmas - including Britten: A Ceremony of Carols / Poulenc: Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël, for chorus / carols by Maxwell Davies, Walton, Saxton, Leighton, etc. (Audio CD)

This is heavenly. Not only 'tis the music -- some of which has been recorded many times -- but mostly the choral texture (sounding always towards the white-voice of those performing) and the perfect acoustic of the recording: open and spacious, as choral music from cathedrals should sound, yet perfectly clear at all sound levels. The order of selections ads to the special experience. And a fully anotated booklet makes this release a superb one.
