OXFORD TIMES (XMAS 2004) The choir – well-disciplined and vibrant as always under Mr Lowe – made something delightful out of several rarely heard carols, such as the Sussex Carol, and particularly the superb Sans Day Carol in John Rutter's moving arrangement.....The disc gives an atmospheric impression of a thoroughly Christmassy occasion [with] exemplary organ accompaniment from Elizabeth Burgess.
