Christmas from Cambridge
(released August 1999, Past Times)

James Weeks - director, Matthew Steynor/James Weeks - organ solos

For this programme James Weeks has excavated some fresh and entertaining repertoire stretching one thousand years. Beginning with plainchant, passing through rumbustious medieval Yule-songs and gentle modern lullabies, interspersed with organ solos and finishing with carols of contemporaries Finnissy and Maxwell Davies, this disc offers a more original approach to the hackneyed Christmas record. Available on tape and CD.
