Description:

In The Bleak Midwinter is an album by King's College Choir Cambridge, released in 2021. The album is a classical CD. In the Bleak Midwinter reflects a Christmas that was unlike any other in recent history. Much of the music on this album was heard around the world as part of the 103rd Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, a service that has been broadcast live every year since 1930. But for Christmas Eve 2020, the continuation of this uniquely long-running tradition was not to be. A full service, with lessons, carols, organ voluntaries and prayers, had been recorded in an empty Chapel for use in the event that a live broadcast became impossible, and it was this that was called upon just days before Christmas Eve. For its millions of listeners, the broadcast meant the continuation of a Christmas tradition in a year when so many were without their friends and family, and without so much of what makes Christmas special. Music from Christmas Eve is supplemented on this album by a selection of specially recorded tracks. It marks not only a moment of light in a time of considerable darkness for so many, but the beginning of a new era for the Choir of Kingâ??s College under the direction of Daniel Hyde, with this his first full album at Kingâ??s since his appointment in 2019. -

Music that brought joy to millions on a Christmas Eve unlike any other in recent history, sung by the Choir of King's College as they stood alone in the famous Chapel. All of these tracks were broadcast as part of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve, December 2020, with the exception of tracks 6, 7, 13 and 15, which were recorded subsequently. Total time: 74:30 Manufactured in Austria.
