A Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols

~ Release by Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, Stephen Cleobury (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

from amazon review: "For this CD, the four-and-a-half hymns in which the congregation sings with the choir were recorded during services in December 1998. The balance of the recording was made in the same chapel in July 1999, without the congregation present, so the coughing and shuffling heard during live broadcasts and earlier live recordings is happily absent."
