Обложка альбома «Carols Without Words» — John Metcalfe

John Metcalfe’s jaw-dropping achievements as arranger, composer and producer include collaborations with Andrea Bocelli, Blur, Peter Gabriel and U2. <i>Carols Without Words</i> turns the New Zealander’s gilt-edged experience to the advantage of all those who yearn for a classy alternative to the usual choral renditions of seasonal favourites. Fresh life is breathed into 10 time-honoured tunes, exquisitely so with his sumptuous symphonic setting of the old German hymn <i>Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming</i>, meditative arrangement of <i>Silent Night</i> and a sophisticated take on <i>Gaudete</i>. Metcalfe pays homage to the “Adagio” from Corelli’s <i>Christmas Concerto</i>, played straight except for a gloriously souped-up version of its central section, converts <i>O Come, O Come, Emmanuel</i> into a showpiece for strings and creates an instant Christmas classic with his shimmering <i>Carol of the Bells</i>.
