CHRISTMAS CAROLS OF VAUGHAN WILLIAMS - CARDIFF FESTIVAL CHOIR

  The present Griffin disc cuts a broad swathe through RVW’s carols and at the same time reminds us that this composer …..believed in community music-making in whatever setting he could serve: here the Christmas carol service or concert.This Griffin CD programme ws recorded by the distinguished Brian Culverhouse at Cardiff University in June and November 1995. The singing is eager and rhythmically virile.The texts are reproduced in full in the generous booklet – another strength to an already strong disc.
