Various Artists - Lullabies & Carols for Christmas / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The richly fascinating history of the Christmas carol spans some nine centuries, from the 12th Century until today, bringing together courtly and popular words and music to contemplate and praise the Christ child. Acclaimed by the Guardian as 'poignantly expressive', soprano Monica Whicher joins one of the world's foremost harp virtuosos and former Principal Harpist with the Toronto Symphony, Judy Loman, to interpret carols both old and new, beloved and unfamiliar, many in Ms. Loman's expert arrangements.
