Carols of Ralph Vaughan Williams GCCD 4072 Product Description “With Vaughan Williams and the Cardiff Festival Choir comes strength of a different kind.  This derives partly from the performers, but largely from RVW who,….having to find harmonies for them, did so in a way that suited their character…The choir perform with spirit….the women….with unfailing beauty of tone” composed for the church of the twentieth century. Total time: 62:54 The present Griffin disc cuts a broad swathe through RVW’s carols and at the same time reminds us that this composer …..believed in community music-making in whatever setting he could serve: here the Christmas carol service or concert.This Griffin CD programme ws recorded by the distinguished Brian Culverhouse at Cardiff University in June and November 1995.  The singing is eager and rhythmically virile.The texts are reproduced in full in the generous booklet – another strength to an already strong disc.  Rob Barnett – MusicWeb – December 2012
