The John Rutter Christmas Album

“…offers nearly 80 minutes of his delightful carols drawn from earlier recordings, and if you don’t already have a Rutter CD this one will do nicely.” Mail on Sunday

“John Rutter is world famous for The Shepherd’s Pipe Carol and Love Came Down at Christmas and he is beloved by amateur choirs the world over for his simple melodies, easy-listening harmonies and light syncopations. It’s all amply represented on this disc… It’s all impeccably performed by the excellent Cambridge Singers and fans of John Rutter won’t be disappointed.” Classic FM Magazine

“Speaking of classics, among the 23 pieces heard here is Rutter’s masterpiece, What sweeter music, a staple of Christmas programs everywhere, … sounding even more glorious than ever.” Classics Today

“Traditionalists will be pleased to find holiday favourites from Silent Night to Deck the Halls alongside 20 less familiar carols on this collection. All are either originals or arrangements by Rutter, the composer-conductor whose name has become synonymous with Christmas since he was enlisted by David Willcocks to spruce up old carols and write new ones – ‘an undercover way’ as Rutter puts it, ‘of slipping a tune or two into circulation at a time of the year when music critics are on vacation.” The Observer
