The London-based chamber choir Sonoro was founded just two years ago, yet has already developed a strong individual identity. It is immediately evident in the brightly rhythmic account of Malcolm Archer’s ‘A little child there is yborn’…There’s real joy in the interpretation, and the blend is not over-homogenised – you can hear distinctive individual voices without ensemble being disrupted…Neil Ferris’s conducting is full of interpretative touches which illuminate the music without compromising the spontaneity of the singing.

Thanks to Sonoro for giving us a smorgasbord of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Sonoro throw in dazzlingly slick performances of carols traditional and contemporary... Lovely stuff, beautifully recorded to boot.
