About

Awards and reviews
Christmas 2017
The disc is full of sensitively balanced, expressive performance, most of them sung unaccompanied…A jazzed-up God rest you merry, gentlemen and a chittering Jingle Bells bring fun into the equation, too. Recommended.
December 2017
Everything's wonderfully tasteful but never too reverential, and the Six throw in a pleasing selection of rarities. Witty arrangements of “God rest you merry, gentlemen” and “Let it snow” crop up near the close. All highly appealing, and predictably well-recorded.
