Awards and reviews
December 2012
This version has the tang of the youthful choral society to it which combines well with the youthful industriousness of the music to make something comfortingly familiar that illustrates the most fundamental of Christmas sentiments through some dramatic story-telling.
November 2012
The performance is good, with no shortcomings of any significance from the soloists, choir or accompaniment and Christian Grube’s overall direction is clearly sympathetic to the music. A full-blown blockbuster approach would have been quite inappropriate to this sensitive and delicate work and Grube gets the scale just right.
