Song of the Nativity
£7.99 – £13.00
Song of the Nativity by The Sixteen conducted by Harry Christophers on the Coro label and contains Christmas choral classics including Will Todd’s beautiful anthem My Lord Has Come.
The Sixteen contrasts the dramatic intensity of music by some of today’s most admired composers with traditional and modern carols. Every one of them by their unashamed simplicity captures the joy and sincerity of this most wonderful of seasons. This album provides a perfect, peaceful, and uplifting antidote to the hectic pre-Christmas rush.
“The Sixteen’s consummate technical ability has long been legendary, but it’s their ability to conceal it which is truly special. It puts the music front and centre, in this beautifully realised Christmas sequence.”  BBC Music Magazine
