"…this outstanding issue celebrates 20 years of carols newly commissioned for the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. The two CDs are stuffed with memorable settings - Jonathan Dove's superb, multilayered 'The Three Kings', Judith Weir's dramatically angular 'Illuminare, Jerusalem', the intricate sound-tapestry of Birtwistle's extraordinary 'The Gleam'."
