The quality of the choir at the moment is underlined by this seasonal concert they gave in Germany last night:
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

The concert in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg is an absolute delight - 80 minutes of pure joy. Wonderful singing from the choir, beautifully undemonstrative direction by Chris Gray, and if that wasn't enough, fabulous playing from Thomas Trotter.

Thank you for this link Nick. Wow, this is my ‘go to’ carols this year. Less is more from Christopher Gray, a model of how conducting should be done.Comment
