@mtenor I didn't hear/see him as tense and tight. I thought he sounded beautiful and was simply shaping the notes carefully. This is a lovely rendition.
As to the Holst vs. Darke... why choose?

Carols from Kings is the start of Christmas for me...the true spirit of Christmas and a little oasis of calm. I used to sing the alto part of this and it's my favourite carol. Merry Christmas all.

the tenor is so tense and tight.what a pity
-
I grew up on the Holst version but in later years the Darke is the version that moves me now.
-
ok which silly person thumbed down? Its a beautiful piece and if you dont like it, is there a point to thumbing down just dont listen. A joy to listen to as always
-
@georgebur Agreed!
-
@xyldinnc agreed! the tune is hauntingly beautiful...I love the counterpart the organ line pivots against the solo verse... of all the music I listen to....from hippo, black gospel, to Chopin,Bach and Handel...this tune always comes top of my head - whenever I sit down to a freshly tuned piano!
Perfection!
