After the triumphant success of the King’s Singers last Christmas Album released in 2003 entitled ‘Christmas’, this new album sets an eclectic assortment of modern Christmas classics with special arrangements of some much loved favourites. "Stand-out moments include Tchaikovsky's thoughtful The Crown of Roses, Lawson's gentle Lullay my Liking and Pierpont's hyperactively jolly jingle bells, which they whizz through as though the words 'technically challenging' had vanished from the dictionary." BBC Music Magazine "an eminently enjoyable release that will please fans of The King’s Singers and lovers of Christmas music alike." Musicweb International "A delightful holiday release."
