With their annual Christmas broadcasts, the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge has become a centrepiece of the yuletide tradition for families around the world.
For 2014, the choir is delighted to release the first collection of favourite carols on its own label, recorded in the magnificent acoustic of King’s College Chapel on CD.
‘Favourite Carols from King’s’ is a collection of the most popular carols featured in the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols over the years. Highlights include ‘Once in Royal David’s City’, with the opening verse sung by treble Adam Banwell, ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’, solo performed by bass Hugo Herman-Wilson and ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’. It provides at once a survey of the King’s Christmas tradition and a snapshot of the choir as it is today.
