"It would be hard to fault anything in the performances-who knows better how to do King's than King's?; and indeed, the choir sounds magnificent, even though this space always proves a challenge for recording engineers. They do a very fine job here, taking into account the compromises in detail made to capture the special ambience of the King's Chapel venue." (ClassicsToday)

"Christmas celebration of the Nine Lessons and Carols by the famed and beloved Choir of King's College, Cambridge, on the choir's own label-taken from the 2010 service, (is) an essential acquisition. Familiar favorites are here: the mainstay opener Once in royal David's city; Boris Ord's Adam lay ybounden; the Pearsall In dulci jubilo; Sussex Carol; Ding! Dong! merrily on high; Hark! the herald angels sing-along with other "modern" classics, from Judith Weir's Illuminare, Jerusalem and Pierre Villette's Hymne à la Vierge, to Jan Sandström's Det är en ros utsprungen.
