The monks of Prinknash and the nuns of Stanbrook abbeys sing excerpts from the dawn and midnight masses and other traditional Latin plainsong for the season of Christmas. The large, warm acoustic of Stanbrook Abbey chapel is perfect to enable this lovely devotional music to flower. Full texts in Latin and English are supplied.
