For many years now, Tom Barnes has recorded our live concerts for us. His work is impeccable and after every season we would have this treat of being able to hear our season at our leisure.
Pete uses these raw recordings to produce our YouTube videos.
End of story.
Or not.
Our 40th committee had an idea; why not take the Christmas concert recordings and see if our pro sound engineer, Jay Fee, could combine the best of them into a LIVE CD of Christmas Carols.
I had no idea it would sound SO BEAUTIFUL!
When the first edit came back to hear, I was in tears. New versions of favourite Xmas songs we sang in concert, NOT ON ANY OF OUR OTHER CDS, are now preserved and presented in the highest quality on a professionally produced CD.
Includes the Newly composed Rideau Carol in a recording debut for composer and tenor, David Rain!
The quality is right up there with our other Christmas CDs and we are very proud that we can present Adeste Fideles LIVE to our audience for purchase!
Our new graphics guru, Terry, envisioned and produced a glorious CD cover and interior.
Now available for pre-order Online and will be on our CD table at our upcoming concerts.
