In our opinion, probably the top women’s choir performing today (this of course is a matter of some debate) is the Elektra Women’s Choir, and as proof we offer their latest, "A Ceremony Of Carols," a brilliant CD of choral Christmas classics. First we have 12 cuts from Benjamin Britten’s "Ceremony of Carols." Then three selections from Paul Csonka’s "Concierto de Natividad," Then John Rutter’s "Dancing Day, Parts I and II," eight songs. Featured is Rita Costanzi on harp. Just settle back in your easy chair with a Christmas toddy, put this on the stereo and let the beautiful music take you to a Christmas of another time and place. |
