Classic Carols

---

"The exposed choral strands of the motet - sensitively negotiated by the London Philharmonic Choir - even seemed to suggest a churchy acoustic lending atmosphere to the Royal Festival Hall’s coolly analytical sound while the segue from hushed chorale into the opening bars of the symphony, horns sounding from the lower depths, was heart-stoppingly theatrical."
The Independent

Bruckner Christus factus est & Te Deum,  Nézet-Séguin

"Going from the hushed D minor of the motet to the hushed D minor of the symphony was a brilliant stroke, but risky, too, as choirs are liable to slip in pitch. The LPO chorus came through with flying colours, as they did in the joyous shout of the Te Deum."
Daily Telegraph
