My favourite Choir for ages. Will always love their singing.
-
Excellent work from King's as always. Thought the organ volume / piston changes at the end were a bit too sudden though.
-
@spiritdei I agree. The 2005 version is just a little bit faster and that makes the carol better in my opinion.

Best rendition I have heard of my favourite carol. Slight vocal wavering at beginning. Don't recall hearing it on night of broadcast. Harmonization exquisite. Hope there is a new DVD available of this year's carol singing from King's College.

Thanks Spiritdei for uploading this. Checked your upload with BBC iplayer and notice same slight wavering 20 seconds into performance. Otherwise a delight to listen to.

Very good! The 2005 version was excellent.

@mbayram50 I think agree, Kings performs this frequently but to me never better than the 2005 version!

Ah, gorgeous. One of my favourite carols and one that's certainly dear to my heart. It only adds to it that, in this case, it prominently features a front line that's sounding a bit more homogeneous and clean than some King's treble lines in recent memory. Thank you, Spiritdei, as always.
