A Child is Born

Despite lovely solo work and a crisp organ sound. A Child is Born lacks the quality of Trinity’s poignant When David Heard (CDCF 216). The readings are a bit pedestrian. Worth it for the 20th-century (Vaughan Williams, Leighton, Judith Weir), plus some lovely Renaissance John Amner.
