World-renowned a cappella group, and national treasures, The King's Singers follow their recent 'Great American Songbook' album with the Christmas equivalent, on a disc that pays homage to the group's roots whilst acknowledging their current passion for swing.
Traditional favourites such as "The holly and the ivy," "In the bleak midwinter," and the beautiful Austrian carol "Still, Still, Still," jockey for position amongst modern-day classics like "Winter Wonderland," "Frosty the Snowman" and "Sleigh Ride." All are presented in new arrangements by some of the group's favourite arrangers: Berty Rice, Keith Roberts and Alexander L'Estrange.
"It mixes snappy arrangements of American secular favourites like Santa Claus is coming to town…the six-part harmonies are typically immaculate…King's Singers diehards won't hesitate" (BBC Music)
