A new album bringing classic carols to life under the expert direction of conductor and author Andrew Gant, marking the release later this year of his new book Christmas Carols, from Village Green to Church Choir. Everyone loves a carol—in the end, even Scrooge. They have the power to summon up a special kind of midwinter mood, like the aroma of mince pies and mulled wine and the twinkle of lights on a tree. It’s a kind of magic. In this new accompanying recording, Andrew Gant’s choir Vox Turturis bring these carols to life with captivating performances of classics such as ‘The Angel Gabriel’, ‘Adeste fideles’ and ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ as well as less-known gems like ‘Célébrons la naissance’, ‘Les anges dans nos campagnes’ and ‘Tempus adest floridum’. The CD booklet also includes a short essay by Gant highlighting some of the fascinating stories behind these works. Christmas Carols brims with anecdote, expert knowledge and Christmas spirit. It is a fittingly joyous account of one of our best-loved musical traditions.
