Carols From King's / Choir of King's College, Cambridge · Stephen Cleobury
This DVD offers for the first time ever a sumptuous surround-sound experience of the college's annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, filmed in December 2000.  Stephen Cleobury's choice of music for the service struck a careful balance between carols traditional and modern, rare and popular.  This DVD release also includes a fascinating and rare black and white film of the 1954 service, effortlessly directed by Boris Ord.  This DVD captures the magnificence of two carol services, almost fifty years apart, with stunning filming, incredible surround sound and fascinating archive extras and interviews.
