A favorite choral setting for your Christmas listening.
Hugo Distler’s remarkable setting of the Praetorius carol “Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming” is a favorite at Christmastime. It’s mostly heard as a shorter concert version, which is stellar, but the extended variations as sung by Chanticleer is revelatory.
Listen to it on the album “Christmas with Chanticleer and Dawn Upshaw.”
