Half an hour of classical music, including some festive favourites by Rutter, Britten and Lauridsen.
Half and hour of back to back classical music to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Today's mix includes some festive favourites such as Britten's Ceremony of Carols, Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" and a Christmas Lullaby by John Rutter. Woven into the tinsel is some J.S. Bach performed by pianist V铆kingur 脫lafsson, a concerto by Dora Bright, and Voces8's own take on "Away in a manger".
