Named as one of the world's finest choirs by Gramophone, Wells Cathedral Choir and their director Matthew Owens make their Resonus Classics debut with a programme of carols - A Wells Christmas.
With an irresistible array of popular carols and more recent offerings this scintillating and varied programme is vividly realised by the combined boy and girl choristers and Vicars Choral that continue the 1100-year-old tradition of music in Wells Cathedral.
"Seamlessly blended by choirmaster Matthew Owens, who has cultivated a bright, gleaming sonority, and the type of crisp attack heard to good effect in the Zither Carol…this is a desirable collection" BBC Music
"Wells Cathedral has a particularly fine set of boy and girl choristers this year, with soloist Madeleine Perring impressive in director of music Matthew Owens's warmly attractive setting of Lullay, My Liking." The Guardian
"This seasonal sequence is lively, attractive and rather pure" The Sunday Times
