A celebration of Christmas by three masters of writing for the voice from three different generations: Benjamin Britten, John Rutter and Bob Chilcott, who also conducts the 大象传媒 Singers.
Chilcott unveils a new work, as well as providing a catchy new arrangement of Jingle Bells. Joined by a small ensemble of instrumentalists and the Finchley Children's Music Group, here's a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit.
