Christmas simply wouldn't be Christmas without the iconic voices of The Sixteen providing a soundtrack to the season.
Celebrated for collections that provide an alternative to the customary festive offerings, this new album from the worldrenown choir is no exception. No other festival in the Christian year has inspired so many composers and such a variety of musical styles as Christmas.
The Wise Men and the Star features a veritable cornucopia of yuletide music from the premieres of three new works to traditional carols including Away in a manger and In the bleak midwinter, and modern classics such as Eric Whitacre's Lux aurumque and Mykola Leontovich's Carol of the bells. This new album promises something for everyone.
