About the album

The international award-winning octet, VOCES8, has established itself at the forefront of British a cappella. Performing a repertoire ranging from Renaissance polyphony to unique Jazz and Pop arrangements, the group has been praised for stunning performance, exquisite singing and creating a sound that spans the entire range of vocal colour.

"... Voces8 has put together an exceptionally attractive collection of classic carols and anthems mixed with less familiar works. The most striking aspects of the performances are a rare level of tonal clarity and a focused unanimity in the singers' vowels that produce a ringing, almost startling purity, which is enhanced by the crystalline, ideally resonant sound of Signum's CD ... The program is marvelously varied, but all of the pieces, whether written in the middle ages or the 21st century, are gorgeous examples of sumptuous choral writing, and these performance do them full justice. Highly recommended." All Music Guide

Hartverwarmende kerstmuziek uitgevoerd door internationaal geprezen ensemble
Christmas is een hartverwarmende selectie van de favoriete kerstmuziek van VOCES8. Het ensemble koos ervoor om een reeks werken beïnvloed door hun onnavolgbare enthousiasme voor uitvoeringen en liefde voor muziek uit alle periodes en stijlen te presenteren, gebruik makend van de thema’s de Maagd Maria, de Wijzen, de geboorte, gejubel en feestvreugde.

De All Music Guide schreef over het album: “the program is marvelously varied, but all of the pieces, whether written in the middle ages or the 21st century, are gorgeous examples of sumptuous choral writing, and these performance do them full justice. Highly recommended.”

Het internationaal prijswinnende octet VOCES8 heeft zich gevestigd als een van de meest vooraanstaande Britse a capellagroepen. Ze voeren een breed repertoire uit, reikend van renaissancepolyfonie tot aan unieke bewerkingen van jazz- en popnummers. De groep wordt geprezen om hun prachtige uitvoeringen, voortreffelijk gezang en hun vaardigheid om een klank te creëren die de complete omvang van de vocale klankkleur overbrugt.
