Our Take

Ah, Cardiff Festival's latest offering, "Carols of Vaughan Williams," conducted by the esteemed Arwel Hughes - a delightful collection of festive tunes that will make even the grumpiest Scrooge tap their toes.

The album kicks off with a rousing rendition of "The First Nowell," setting the tone for the rest of the tracks to come. Hughes' expert guidance leads the listener through a carousel of classics, from the hauntingly beautiful "In the Bleak Midwinter" to the joyous "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear."

The choir's harmonies are as tight as Santa's waistband after a night of mince pies, and the orchestral accompaniment is more lush than a Christmas pudding soaked in brandy. Each track is a magical sleigh ride through the wintry landscapes of Vaughan Williams' compositions, with Hughes at the helm like a musical Santa Claus, delivering joy to all who listen.

With such a wealth of talent and tradition on display, "Carols of Vaughan Williams" is a festive feast for the ears that will have you singing along in no time. So grab a mug of mulled wine, put on your favourite Christmas jumper, and let Cardiff Festival and Arwel Hughes transport you to a winter wonderland of musical merriment. A holiday treat not to be missed!
