Reviews

'This is a highly enjoyable and superbly performed Christmas collection. It respects the traditions of Christmas music but provides plenty of examples of how composers are developing that tradition in exciting ways' (MusicWeb International)
The words of I wonder as I wander were collected by the American composer and song collector John Jacob Niles from verses sung to him by a young woman in Murphy, North Carolina. So, it feels rather appropriate that this 1996 setting by the Swiss composer Carl Rütti should have melded the English choral tradition with the rhythms and harmonies of jazz and the blues.
