What Sweeter Music
Dec 28th, 2008 by oldfogey
A late carol for the end of this Christmas season. It is by the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge conducted by Stephen Cleobury. The music is by John Rutter, a composer much loved by choirs throughout Britain, though rather looked down upon by other professional composers - largely, I suspect, because his music is approachable and popular. Listened to without modernist prejudice his music is straight, direct, sometimes complex, sometimes simple, but without ideology or side. Just music. And this is delightful - a late carol - perfect for the season. The recording is not the best - an old cassette tape - but the music shines through lovingly.
