David Willcocks' 1972 recording of A Ceremony of Carols is a classic: a straightforward version of the piece, one that forgoes any fanciness of tempos and allows the music's simplicity and sophistication to work their own charms. The Procession and Recession are refreshingly brisk, and "This little babe," which some conductors take at a tempo that seems intended to put the listener into a state of nervous anxiety for the welfare of the young singers, is instead shapely and musical. "Balulalow" is also taken at a speed that emphasizes its gracefulness and serenity. Willcocks has the benefit of young soloists (as well as the choristers of King's College, Cambridge) with sweet, pure, strong voices that are absolutely in tune, something that cannot always be taken for granted in performances of this piece. Osian Ellis plays with wonderful clarity, and the harp is miked so that its delicate traceries are cleanly audible. St. Nicolas is a larger piece, requiring more extended performing forces, including mixed choir, girls choir, two pianos, orchestra, and tenor and treble soloists. The dramatic cantata, which was premiered at the opening of the 1948 Aldeburgh Festival, is stylistically eclectic, full of rousing choruses, intense solos, and intriguing orchestral colors. Robert Tear's tenor is very similar to Peter Pears' in its timbre and effect, so it will be pleasing to listeners who like Pears' voice and annoying to those who don't. Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields plays with fervor and dramatic energy. EMI's sound is nicely spacious and resonant.
