Carols With St Paul's Cathedral Choir
St Paul's Cathedral Choir, Andrew Carwood, with Simon Johnson (organ)
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 1 December 2015
Formed 900 years ago, the St Paul's Cathedral Choir - one of the world's most celebrated cathedral choirs - finally makes their debut on Decca with an album of traditional and brand new festive carols from the heart of London, under the direction of Andrew Carwood.
On this album, old and new sit side by side as classic carols in famous arrangements rub shoulders with new works such as Philip Stopford's beautiful setting of the 16th Century Lully Lulla Lullay, and Graham Jordan Ellis's captivating There Is No Rose which is rarely recorded. Other works new to Decca include the lively Carol of the Bells and John Rutter's ravishing All Bells in Paradise.
The Cathedral of St Paul's in London is among the world's most recognised buildings, in the very heart of London. The Choir sings 7 services a week, added to which are televised UK state occasions held at St. Paul's, ranging from the wedding of Charles and Diana to the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
