The all-male vocal ensemble Chanticleer has recorded a variety of Christmas albums, ranging from collections of popular carols to contemporary music. Chanticleer Sings Christmas has garnered unusual attention during the coronavirus pandemic, for it was one of a comparatively small number of new Christmas albums on the market. The album, actually recorded before calamity began, has various attractions, including impressive engineering from the Skywalker Sound studio that imparts a churchy atmosphere without the fuzziness of many actual churches. The album snared a Grammy nomination for Best Classical Engineering. The program is comparatively light on popular carols; listeners in search of those might try the album A Chanticleer Christmas instead. Away in a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem, the latter in Ralph Vaughan Williams' lovely arrangement, are present, but for the most part, the job of balancing the Renaissance motets goes to international carols, beautifully arranged by the group members; try the French Canadian D'ou viens-tu, bergère. There are also contemporary pieces and a medley of songs influenced by African American spirituals by composer Rosephanye Powell, who, on the evidence of what's heard here, deserves wider exposure. The end product is an accessible, sonically superb Christmas album that's appealing for all without relying on the usual material.
