Vanbur – Carol of the Bells

Deutsche Grammophon presents Winter Tales – a new seasonal album featuring music from some of the label’s star composers, who were invited to reimagine the music of Christmas and Chanukah, drawing inspiration from their childhoods and homelands. The album comprises 12 very personal responses to that creative challenge, all of which have something fresh and timely to say about winter’s promise of renewal and light’s power over darkness. British composer duo Vanbur – Jessica Jones and Tim Morrish – opted for a 20th century classic, ‘Carol of the Bells’, giving it an ethereal feel with a single vocal line rather than massed choral voices.
