Fantasia on Christmas Carols
T01058331993
Whether it has its roots in frost-covered English woods and fields, or the splendour of baroque Venice, all the music in this concert is animated by a shared sense of wonder, mystery and joy. Vaughan Williams' and Finzi's seasonal favourites draw deeply on the English folk tradition, and make an enchanting foil for Vivaldi's great (and rightly popular) shout of celebration. Together they add up to a luminous Christmas concert from Snape Maltings' own chorus, under its charismatic director Ben Parry.
