Choir of King's College, Cambridge Originally formed at Cambridge University by the order of King Henry VI, King's College Choir have long established an enviable international reputation as one of the greatest of all choirs, responsible for numerous acclaimed recordings and concerts. King Henry VI wanted to form a choir that would be worthy of services at the magnificent chapel he had built at King's College and that still remains their primary purpose. They still sing for the daily services, but their fame is such that, out of term time, they are regularly seen on television or heard on the radio and have made many high-profile recordings along with prestigious concert tours all over the world. They sing in an annual live radio broadcast of the famous Christmas Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, which is heard by tens of millions of people around the world, while television broadcasts include annual carol services.

The "Vespro veneziano" that Andrea Marcon has assembled for this new recording is inspired by the resplendent sounds of the music that was performed at the great Christmas Vespers in St. Mark's in the presence of the foremost dignitaries of La Serenissima and a large audience of aristocrats and visitors from across Europe.

The resounding refrains of The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford reverberate throughout A Lullaby Carol: Christmas from Christ Church, a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary works celebrating the choir's musical heritage, particularly from the 20th and 21st centuries. Highlights include the melodically and rhythmically rich "Make we joy now in this fest" and "All this time", by Sir William Walton, one of Christ Church's most famous alumni; John Rutter's modern masterpiece "Hymn to the Creator of Light" and Simon Preston's timeless "There is no rose". There are also two settings by former Organists of Christ Church: Stephen Darlington's arrangement of "Silent Night", and his successor Steven Grahl's setting of "O nata lux".
