5.0 out of 5 stars The CAMBRIDGE SINGERS are earth-bound angels!, September 24, 1998

I challenge you to find any lovelier Christmas music than that performed by the Cambridge Singers, directed by John Rutter. This group has released several holiday recordings (I have "Christmas with ...," "Christmas Night," and "Christmas Day in the Morning," and they recieve the most play-time around the place over the holidays. (My wife starts playing Christmas music right after Halloween!) All three are exquisite, and highly recommended. And.. each is an hour or so long!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rutter and the Cambridge Singers at their best., December 15, 1998

This review is from: Christmas Day in the Morning (Audio CD)

I discovered John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers ten years ago and can't imagine the holidays without them. Christmas Day in the Morning is my favorite. The variety of literature and the flow of the listing makes it perfect for repeat listening. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Rutter, With a Bounty of His Own Compositions, September 20, 2000

This review is from: Christmas Day in the Morning (Audio CD)

This is yet another collection of the beautiful sounds, which John Rutter creates with a choir. The ethereal quality of these performances is almost palpable. Always especially enjoyable are Rutter's own compositions. While his CD's usually contain two or three of his works, on this CD, out of the 23 selections, eight were composed by John Rutter, a rich bonus indeed.
