A glorious collection of Christmas music spanning over 900 years, centered around Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols' a work seen as both a signal of Brittens turn back towards English musical and cultural traditions and as a distinctly modern composition. Owen Rees and the Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford present this alongside works that alternate between the early 17th century by that most prolific composer and arranger of Lutheran Christmas music, Michael Praetorius and the present: music by Judith Weir (1984) , David Blackwell (2011) , Jonathan Dove (2000) , Dobrinka Tabakova (2018) , Toby Young (2017) , and Cecilia McDowall (2007) . At one point we interrupt the pattern of alternation to look back half a millennium further than Praetorius, with Hildegard of Bingens O virga ac diadema.

Piers Lane goes to town again
By Lane, Piers
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
I seem to have taken my time to get to town again after the release of Piers Lane goes to town in 2013 (Hyperion CDA67967) , with the recordings on the present album split between 2015 and 2022. Not only has this new journey had its delays, the repertoire extends from the 1700s to 2019 instead of concentrating, as before, on the twentieth century, and this time it focuses very much on the dance, whether courtly, folk, ballroom, novel or even barbarous. Like its predecessor, this album contains pieces I've mainly performed as encores, and mixes the well-known with works composed specially for me, the noble and contemplative alongside the populist and humorous. In other words, it's a collection of very personal guilty pleasures, and I hope the composers involved wouldn't be too shocked by the antics of their new neighbours.

Springtime In New York
By Dylan, Bob
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacys highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series shines fresh light on the provocative new musical directions Dylan was taking as a songwriter and a recording artist from 1980 through 1985. In the early 1980s, while the music industry was grappling with the arrival of new trends and technology, from MTV to compact discs to digital recording, Bob Dylan was writing and recording new songs for a new decade, creating an essential new chapters in his studio catalog. Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York (1980-1985) celebrates the rich creative period surrounding Dylans classic albums Shot Of Love, Infidels, and Empire Burlesque with previously unreleased outtakes, alternate takes, rehearsal recordings, live performances and more. In his liner notes for Bob Dylan - Springtime In New York, Damien Love writes, "And thats the real story of this gloriously untrammeled collection. The songs. The songs stripped free of trappings, tampering, passing tastes, and judgements. The songs broken down to the sound of people really doing this, right now, acting on instinct. The songs rough and rowdy, bruised and tender, joking and crying, nagging and striving and yearning. The songs were always there, and here they are still, keeping pace with us."
