About
A perfect Christmas present for music-loving children, this album brings together three musical fables written by John Rutter. The Reluctant Dragon and The Wind in the Willows, both adapted by David Grant from Kenneth Grahame stories, were commissioned for Christmas concerts given by The King's Singers. Written by Rutter himself, the story of Brother Heinrich's Christmas is built around the legend that the carol In dulci jubilo was first sung by angels who miraculously appeared to the medieval monk Heinrich Suso one Christmas Eve.
With Richard Baker and Brian Kay (narrators).
"I predict that this album will become part of our family Christmas." - Cross Rhythms
"Three musical fables that were written with children and adults in mind. The Reluctant Dragon, The Wind in the Willows, and Brother Heinrich's Christmas are the magic spark of Christmas on this imaginative release." - AllMusic
"This is an enchanting recording, suitable for all children from ages 3 to 90!" - Church Music Quarterly
