Emily Wenman - Noel - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Their second Christmas album on Signum Records, Armonico Consort and Christopher Monks return with a new album featuring a collection of carols both old and new. They have created the perfect soundtrack for those who love an atmosphere at Christmas. Featuring world premiere recordings by Composer Toby Young and the first ever recording of 'Star Song' by Jonathan Dove on a Christmas album, there are also exquisitely sublime versions from 'Silent Night' to 'Away in a Manger'. InchIt is ten years since our last carols recording, and we have collected some incredible works we have been so keen to record, including several commissioned from our composer in residence. Christmas somehow manages to inspire composers to write the most imaginative, both in terms of creativity and melodiousness, and Toby is an expert at making Christmas music sound just as we want it to be!Inch Christopher Monks
