Peter Warlock has been described as a supreme carrolist of the century, perhaps of all time. Included on this disc are all his carols and some transcriptions suitable for Christmas tide.They are all lovely to sing and to listen to, and are superbly performed by the Allegri Singers directed by Louis Halsey.
