Christmas disc round-up: from Christmas Matins in Bavaria & Nine Lessons & Carols at King's College, Cambridge to festive brass from Canada & the Wexford Carols
Daniel Hyde and the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, recording In the Bleak Midwinter in the chapel in December 2020 This year's Christmas round-up has something of an edge to it, many of the discs were recorded under the challenge of social distancing and the effect of the pandemic on child choristers who will have been deprived of the experience of singing in public. Some choirs have clearly made good use of the time offered, whilst others such as King's College, Cambridge took advantage of the unusual circumstances to record the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in a chapel empty of audience.There is also a sense of looking back, the King's Singers return to their roots, whilst on Alto we can hear the Deller Consort in Medieval carols recorded in the 1950s and 1960s and the St Florian's Boy's Choir celebrates its 950th birthday with archive recordings.

[…] groovy sardonicism. They also both have slow movements with deep, deep pools and finales that, instead of being conventionally jubilant, draw together the work's thematic threads and leave a lasting impression of sullen intransigence.The Stenhammar Quartet has been active since 2002. The works of Wilhelm Stenhammar naturally play a central part in the ensemble's programmes, but their repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary music. The quartet regularly commissions works from Nordic composers such as Sven-David Sandström and Bent Sørensen, and has also been the dedicatee and given first performances of works by composers from the USA and Great Britain. The SQ has recorded extensively for Swedish Radio and various record labels and the ensemble's previous discs have received nominations for the Swedish "Grammis" Awards. In 2009 the ensemble was commended by the Royal Swedish Academy of Music for its contributions to Swedish music.Source: europadisc.co.uk I found the Stenhammar Quartet's performance of […]
