The sublime Choir of St. John’s College, Cambridge return with the second volume in their Advent series – celebrating the advent season from within the Christian tradition; a season celebrated since at least the sixth century.
This splendid live recording, from within the Chapel of St. John’s College itself, features Christmas favourites, including Britten’s Deo Gracias from A Ceremony of Carols as well as gorgeous performances of lesser known works by modern composers including Jonathan Dove, Arvo Pärt and Paul Manz.

Reviews
“… The performances are impeccable and, given that the make-up of the choir is different every year, the subtle changes in the choral sound, particularly of the boys, makes for fascinating listening. Well worth adding to your “seasonal” recordings…”
Robert Delcamp – American Record Guide – January/February 2022
“… The central elements of success sound as good as ever: the chapel acoustic, beautifully captured by the recording engineers, the sensational sound of the organ, Nethsingha’s rock solid direction, and the solidity of the choral sound, beautiful yet keenly focused and utterly compelling. There is so much to enjoy here. This disc is even more convincing than Volume one, and I suspect it will become a regular part of my personal Advent celebrations in future years.”
Simon Thompson - MusicWeb-International.com – 7 January 2022
"The fantastic balance of anthems, hymns and organ music leaps out in this arresting, fabulously performed Advent programme from St John's, Cambridge." ****
Oliver Condy - BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) - Christmas 2020
