Durch sechs Jahrhunderte und viele Regionen führte das prunkvolle weihnachtliche Chor- und Orgelkonzert in der Westminster Abbey.

A Christmas concert from some fine choirs warmed the hearts of their Montréal audience.

Geistliche, anglikanischen Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts bildeten das Programm des Münchner Rundfunkorchesters, das auf völlig unterschiedliche Weise versuchte, den Raum mit Klängen zu füllen. 

L’Église Saint-Bonaventure s’est remplie des mystères vocaux de l’Avent, de Bach à Rutter.

Alan Woodbridge et son Chœur des femmes du Grand Théâtre de Genève dans un voyage en terres anglaises aura ébranlé les convictions stylistiques de certains. Le tout aura néanmoins été rendu avec beaucoup de conviction et sans démériter : l’ensemble propose un voyage abouti et de haute qualité vocale.

After the overload of concerts and carol singing around Christmas, most choirs have a well-deserved break before starting for another year, but not Vivamus. This young London-based choir entered 2013 in style with a candlelit concert for Epiphany. The concert’s main advertised work was Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, with other composers on the programme including Leighton, Howells and Whitacre.

The Barts Chamber Choir, conducted by Ivor Setterfield provided this, with a wonderful program from traditional audience carols to lesser known pieces by Berlioz, Howells and Vaughan Williams.

Where better to find the spirit of Christmas than in a church associated with the Knights of Jerusalem since 1185. Just off Fleet Street, lays an oasis of choral music: Temple Church.
