WOW! That guy sings higher than I do. (I'm a girl) It was pretty good. For those harsh commenters out there: i'd like to see you do better. :P

This is a nice version - similar to Anthony Way's in the album The Greatest Christmas Show on Earth (2001).

can someone tell me who the arranger of this particular performance is?
-
Excellent phrasing and dynamics. A really good performance.

This takes me right back, I did the solo to this at a concert in the albert hall 30 odd years ago, one person said I was flat so left the choir and never sang seriously again lol

This is how this should be sung not hollywierds version of a hymn
-
Okay, I would kill for their voices. Beautiful. How could anyone dislike this?

I only choose to watch this version over the many versions on Youtube because Lichfield is my home city. And I'm so pleased to be from there right now! The first verse solo is so brilliant and the images over the last verse are really warming and make a nice change from just having the choir all the way through. Beutiful carol as well, but I think that's already been said!

more finely produced version´s are available....

This is the best tune...
I agree with sarahrchds, some of the posters here are being too critical. Is it the best version of the song ever performed? No, surely not. Is it still remarkably beautiful and better than 99.9% of the world is capable of producing? Well, don't hold me to that figure, but I think it's fair to say these young men are better than most of us posting criticism. I'll leave it at that. This is a beautiful piece, beautiful version of the song, and I thoroughly enjoy listening to it constantly.

@adgart I think your 99.9% figure is almost certainly correct.

In a freezing cold cathedral on live TV, it's an EXCELLENT solo.
