Review by Nicklaus Louis

The album Children's Crusade A Ceremony Of Carols by Benjamin Britten, performed by the Mädchenchor Hannover, Ensemble S, Birgit Bachuber, and Gudrun Schröfel, is a stunningly beautiful collection of choral works. The choir's pure and angelic voices are perfectly suited to the ethereal and hauntingly beautiful compositions of Britten.

The album begins with the iconic "A Ceremony of Carols," a collection of carols for Christmas that showcases the choir's impeccable harmonies and perfect diction. The soloists, Bachuber and Schröfel, add a warmth and depth to the already rich and layered sound of the choir.

The album also includes "Rejoice in the Lamb," a piece that is both joyful and contemplative, with its blend of sacred and secular texts. The choir's interpretation of this work is both powerful and tender, with a perfect balance of emotion and restraint.

About Benjamin Britten, Mädchenchor Hannover, Ensemble S, Birgit Bachuber, Gudrun Schröfel

British composer, conductor, and pianist. Born: November 22, 1913, in Lowestoft, UK - died: December 04, 1976, in Aldeburgh, UK. He showed talent from an early age, and first came to public attention with the a cappella choral work A Boy Was Born in 1934. With the premiere of his opera Peter Grimes in 1945, he leapt to international fame. For the next fifteen years he devoted much of his compositional attention to writing operas, establishing him as one of the leading 20th century figures in this genre. Britten's interests as a composer were wide-ranging; he produced important music in such varied genres as orchestral, choral, solo vocal (much of it written for the tenor Peter Pears), chamber and instrumental, as well as film music. He also took a great interest in writing music for children and amateur performers, and was a fine pianist and conductor. One of Britten's most important works, The War Requiem was completed 20 December 1961, and first performed 30 May 1962. Britten received many prizes and honors, including becoming a Companion of Honour in 1952, and a member of the Order of Merit in 1965.
