Due to popular demand, CORO has packaged The Sixteen's two most popular Christmas titles into one double CD set. The ensemble's Traditional Christmas Carol Collections Volumes I and II feature some of our best-known and best-loved Christmas carols in arrangements with traditional harmonies and original words. Favourites include In the bleak midwinter, Silent night and See amid the winter's snow. There is also an abundance of festive music that deserves to be better known and The Sixteen includes some rediscovered treasures in this collection such as Masters in this Hall, Past three a clock and Gloucestershire Wassail. Review: Absolutely fabulous - I especially love cd 2. Carols I grew up with but many I haven' t heard since. Beautiful early music style. Fabulous!!! Review: Stunning - Absolutely superb singing. Makes a nice change from the (by comparison) rather twee voice of choristers. The carols on Disc 1 are all the super popular ones, Disc 2 is a little bit more unusual (although to most musical people also very well known).

Dutiful rather than uplifting
I feel a bit mean for giving such superb singers a poor review.The singing on this CD is wonderful....clear, beautifully harmonised but most of the carols sound much the same ! I know this is advertised as a collection of "traditional carols " , but I found the pace to be somewhat over-stately... even the joyful ones .Regretfully, I can only give 4 out of 5 stars .
