Yulefest!

Recorded 8-9 and 12 January 2014. Released November 2015.

★★★★★ BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

“Sublime singing of the Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, under the direction of Stephen Layton, marks the a cappella collection ‘Yulefest!’…If you’re not touched…you have Grinch in your soul.” – Los Angeles Times

This festive album presents a truly varied feast of seasonal music, all sung a cappella. There’s ancient and modern traditional favourites – and some startlingly beautiful fusions of old and new from contemporary arrangers including Ben Parry, Ola Gjeilo and Robert Rice.
