Die Aufführung von alten und modernen Weihnachtsliedern ist zu einem zentralen Bestandteil des Weihnachtsfestes geworden. Die Chormusik auf dieser CD umfasst Holsts überraschend vernachlässigtes Christmas Day sowie Musik von Leighton, Joubert, Mathias, Gardner und Rutter. Die nostalgische Stimmung von Howells' immergrünen Weihnachtsliedern findet ihren Widerhall in Finzis In terra pax, das an das Läuten der Glocken um Mitternacht an einem frostigen Weihnachtsabend erinnert. Der City of London Choir, der einen beneidenswerten Ruf als "führend unter den nicht-professionellen Chören" (The Times) genießt, gibt mit dieser reizvollen Aufnahme sein Debüt bei Naxos.
