Truro Cathedral Festivals of Nine Lessons and Carols 2016

[Keraulophone]

For those who couldn't get down to the far west, here are links to Truro's two NL&Cs: boys on 23rd and girls on 24th. This year's commission was written for the girls, now in their second year, by Dobrinka Tabakova.

The service was created in Truro Cathedral by Edward Benson, then Bishop of Truro, later Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1880. King's began in 1918.

Problem is that the sound is so echoey and distant, and the organ so loud that it is actually quite hard to hear the choir in any detail. Shame.

The sound is a little disappointing but not the performances of the music. Many thanks for posting these.

[DracoM]

Agreed: what is heard is a very disciplined and musical team, AND some new repertoire!

The originals still the greatest!?!
