About

This disc is a far cry from the typical fare we’ve come to expect on the shelves around the Christmas season. The inclusion of J S Bach’s sublime Cantata 63 and Mendelssohn’s Vom Himmel hoch give the disc a year round appeal.

Vaughan Williams’ joyful The First Nowell is a veritable feast of well loved carols and the London Philharmonic Choir, together with soloists Lisa Milne and Christopher Maltman exude Christmas cheer. Vaughan Williams himself said ‘I think that every Christmas play ought to begin with God rest you Merry and end with The First Nowell.

Recorded live at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London, on 5 December 2009.
