Magdalen College Choir / Bill Ives
Bill Ives leads the famed Choir of Magdalen College Choir in this selection of choral favorites for Advent and Christmas. The music on this recording ranges from quiet reflection and anticipation to the excitement and celebration of the birth of Jesus and the coming of the Wise Men.
Director Bill Ives has a good ear for contrasts, placing Byrd's delicate two-part motet "An Earthly Tree" next to Charles Wood's hefty "View Me, Lord". Organist Martin Ford delivers a beautifully articulated performance of Bach's "Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr", while traditionalists will enjoy Vaughan Williams' "The Truth..." and Pearsall's "In Dulci Jubilo". "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is your karaoke moment." Anna Picard, Independent on Sunday 20 December 2009.
