The Exultate Chamber Choir & Orchestra continues it's series of Christmas music with this new release. Included are seven carol arrangements by John Rutter, the number one name in Christmas music. The modern and beautifully lush motets by Whitacre and Lauridsen have proven to be the most popular choral pieces of their kind, and the Exultate Chamber Choir gives remarkable renditions here. The Exultate Chamber Orchestra takes a turn by itself, as well, giving it's account of Corelli's inspired piece, the Christmas Concerto. Recorded in the lavish acoustics of Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church, this recording lacks nothing in variety and beauty for your Christmas season.
