Synopsis

Product Description
This recording celebrates some of Britten's finest choral music for Christmas, together with his Missa Brevis. It is headed by the much-loved A Ceremony of Carols, a masterpeice composed on board ship as Britten returned to England from the U.S.A. in 1942. The telling use of the harp as accompaniment helps to suggest a touching evocation of boyhood lost but never forgotten.
