Camille Saint-Saëns, best known for Carnival of the Animals, Dance Macabre and the Organ Symphony, was a young man of 23 when he composed his delightful Christmas Oratorio in 1858.
A perfect start to the Festive Season which includes carols with a French flavour and a new piece from the Choir’s conductor Donald Judge: a setting of La Cloche de Noël (The Christmas Bell) an atmospheric poem by Jean-Jacques Ampère written in the same year Saint-Saëns completed his oratorio.
