Carols from Trinity

Recorded 29-30 June 1988. Released October 1990.

The Choir’s first Christmas album for Conifer Classics (and its second Christmas album following the 1983 LP issue of > Music for Advent, the Nativity & Epiphany), presenting seasonal carols and hymns and rare solo organ contributions from Richard Marlow. Widely successful on release, this recording was also issued under the short-lived Classical Collection range for Boots pharmacies.

Following the 1993 release of the Choir’s second Christmas album, > A Child is Born, Conifer Classics swiftly re-released both albums in 1995 as a 2-CD compilation, confusingly also titled ‘Carols from Trinity’, with the original 1990 album as Disc 1 and A Child is Born as Disc 2.
