About this album

Twelve Well-Loved Christmas Carols From Exeter Cathedral is a warmly traditional Christmas choral set, anchored by the sound of a cathedral choir in an acoustic made for seasonal worship. Issued in 1966, it presents familiar carols such as The First Nowell, O Come, All Ye Faithful and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing in the disciplined, reverberant style associated with English cathedral singing. Rather than modernising the material, the album leans into reverence, clarity and ritual, making it a fine example of mid-1960s holiday choral recording. Its appeal lies in the combination of sacred tradition, communal singing and the enduring strength of these carols themselves.
