Product Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Christmas with Theatre of Voices' "All is Calm, All is Bright: Christmas Favourites," a captivating collection of timeless carols and chants released on November 30, 2014, under the Harmonia Mundi label. This exquisite album blends genres, seamlessly weaving together choral, medieval, minimalism, Gregorian chant, and avant-garde elements to create a unique and mesmerizing holiday experience.

Theatre of Voices, known for their ethereal and precise vocal performances, breathes new life into classic Christmas favourites. From the hauntingly beautiful "In the Bleak Mid Winter" to the joyous "Joy to the World!", each track is a testament to the ensemble's exceptional artistry.

The album's diverse range of styles and moods ensures there's something for every listener, from the contemplative beauty of "The Blessed Son of God" to the lively cheer of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

This album is not just a collection of songs; it's a celebration of the spirit of Christmas, captured in the exquisite vocals of Theatre of Voices. Whether you're a longtime fan of choral music or simply looking to add some enchantment to your holiday season, "All is Calm, All is Bright" is sure to delight.
