“I’ve long treasured John Eliot Gardiner’s ‘Christmas Oratorio’, but Sir John will have to make room [for] Stephen Layton at the top of my list.” – Fanfare Magazine
Trinity College Choir and Stephen Layton join the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and an impressive line-up of soloists led by Evangelist James Gilchrist for a joyous rendition of Bach’s six cantatas for the festive season from the first day of Christmas to Epiphany.
