The choir of St Paul`s Cathedral tops the list of new discs of traditional fare with Love came down at Christmas, conducted by the cathedral`s director of music, Malcolm Archer.” Daily Telegraph, 12/12/2005 “`Hauntingly beautiful`is how choirmaster Malcolm Archer describes Sandstrom`s arrangement of Praetorius`s `Es ist ein Ros ensprungen` – and so it is… The huge St Paul`s acoustic is appropriately atmospheric****.” BBC Music Magazine, 13/12/2005
