This album features new recordings by Stephen Cleobury and the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and older recordings taken from the live BBC broadcasts of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. These historical recordings, most of which come from the BBC archive, have not been heard since the original broadcasts.

Studio master customers: Please note that the live BBC recordings comprising the second part of this collection were recorded at 16-bit 44.1 kHz and it is at this resolution that they are included in the 24/96 download.
