One invariably tries to compare, in this genre, any choir with Kings College Cambridge Choir. With Simon Preston directing, Christopher Herrick on organ, one is pleasantly surprised, and all comparisons can be put aside. The Choir of Westiminster Abbey gives us a masterful, polished and at times energetic rendition of several hymns, including the de rigeur Hark the Herald Angels Sing. One is sometimes transfixed in almost disbelief, other times transported to sublime realms through the magic of a music that only a divine God could dream up.Very high quality recording and a perfect choice for Christmas listening, with a glass of cognac and crackling fire.
