Info for A Very English Christmas

BBC Music Magazine Award winning choir Tenebrae return to disc on Signum under the expert direction Nigel Short with a sumptuous album of Carols, Hymns and other celebratory works for Christmas.

The programme has been shrewdly chosen and though it includes a sprinkling of familiar pieces there is a pleasing amount of music that is less well-known. More pleasing still, all the latter pieces prove to be well worth hearing. It is probably superfluous to say that the performances by Tenebrae are top class - but they are." (Music Web International)

“Sumptuous performances, and perfectly judged sound.” (BBC Music Magazine)

“It’s an astute amalgam, with the common denominator of Tenebrae’s superb singing.” (The Telegraph)
