Regent is delighted to announce the release of their first recording with Cantemus Chamber Choir, based in Cardiff, directed by Huw Williams.

This excellent choir is fast establishing a name for itself as one of the country’s finest choirs, with a wide-ranging repertoire stretching from the Renaissance to the present day. Widely acclaimed for its performances of Baroque music, Cantemus performed Handel’s Messiah at Buckingham Palace in December 2014, receiving a standing ovation. The choir’s growing reputation has led to it being featured on national television and radio, notably BBC 1’s primetime The One Show and BBC Radio 3’s In Tune.

A very varied selection of Christmas music, new and old, including traditional carols in new arrangements – several by conductor, Huw Williams receiving their first recording - popular American spirituals, favourite Christmas hymns, and contemporary settings from Eric Whitacre, Francis Grier, and John Tavener.
