London Choral Sinfonia - O Holy Night

The young professional singers of Michael Waldron�s London Choral Sinfonia open fresh perspectives on the music of Christmas with a captivating debut album for Orchid Classics. O Holy Night unites familiar carols � arranged by Sir David Willcocks, Andrew Carter and Max Pappenheim � with little-known seasonal treasures by, among others, Peter Maxwell Davies, Humphrey Clucas, Robert Saxton and ex-Swingle Singer, Carol Canning. The tracklist also includes Lo, He comes with clouds descending and O Holy Night in spellbinding arrangements by composer and theatre sound designer Max Pappenheim, former organ scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge. London Choral Sinfonia�s Musical Director, Michael Waldron, built his Christmas album around five traditional carols. The recording�s repertoire mix includes Martin Neary�s fresh take on We Three Kings, a dramatic setting of the Coventry Carol by Jonathan Rathbone, Richard Pantcheff�s haunting A Christmas Carol, and the beguiling No Small Wonder by Paul Edwards.
