About
The Choir of King's College London follow up on their first recording of Edward Nesbit's sacred choral music, named a Gramophone Editor's Choice in 2022, with Nativity, a programme of Christmas music written by the composer over the last ten years: a joyful celebration that places Nesbit at the heart of a thriving British choral scene. At the heart - but slightly to one side too.
In a crowded field, Nesbit's voice is distinctive. Expect much more fast-paced music than is the norm, an abundance of musical references to the classical canon, and frequent touches of humour. With their young, zestful performances, Nesbit's music bene ts from his close collaboration with the choir and its director Joseph Fort.
