专辑介绍:
来自伦敦的型男靓女八人组合，屡获国际大奖的VOCES8以令人惊艳的表演、精湛的歌唱技巧及创造出全方位丰富色彩的声响，不但获得了高度的赞赏，也已为他们在英国的人声乐团界中确立了领先的地位。他们演唱的曲目广泛，包括了从文艺复兴时期的复音音乐到独特的爵士或流行歌曲。
VOCES8成立于2003年，团员皆出身于西敏寺唱诗班的成员，他们的演唱生涯在古典的合唱曲目及无伴奏合唱中皆崭露头角。他们除了每年于欧洲、美国、非洲和亚洲等地进行世界性的巡回演出之外，更曾于英国伦敦皇家节庆音乐厅（the Royal Festival Hall）、威格摩尔音乐厅（theWigmore Hall）、以色列特拉维夫歌剧院（Tel Aviv Opera House）及北京国家大剧院等演出。VOCES8也有许多录音计划和现场广播节目，并经常于德国广播电台音乐台（DeutschlandradioKultur）、ARTE TV电视台、BBC，以及拥有数十万点阅率的YOUTUBE频道上播放他们的录音。此外，他们今年也和Signum唱片合作发行了《合唱挂毯》（A Choral Tapestry）和《圣诞节》（Christmas）两张专辑。
VOCES8在一个非营利的教育基金会“如歌的声音”（VOCES CANTABILES MUSIC）中扮演了一个关键的角色。这个组织在英国及世界各地超过两百所学校持续进行一个大规模的推广计划，举办了一系列以创新为主的讲座及工作坊。VOCES8在这项富有教育意义的工作中，将面对面地接触所有参加讲座及大师班的学员，不论对象的年纪及音乐能力如何，都希望能藉由他们的音乐激发大家的创造力。
VOCES8已获得英国艺术协会（Arts Council England）、音乐家慈善基金（the Musicians Benevolent Fund）和英国乐迷会（The Worshipful Company of Musicians）的赞助支持，同时他们也对官方赞助商T.M.Lewin表示感谢。

AllMusic Review by Stephen Eddins [-]
For its album of Christmas music, British vocal octet Voces8 has put together an exceptionally attractive collection of classic carols and anthems mixed with less familiar works. The most striking aspects of the performances are a rare level of tonal clarity and a focused unanimity in the singers' vowels that produce a ringing, almost startling purity, which is enhanced by the crystalline, ideally resonant sound of Signum's CD. The focused tone allows the group to sound much larger than an octet, so the dynamic range of their performances is unusually broad and expressive, from the hushed opening of Coventry Carol to the rhapsodic fullness of In dulci jubilo. The sound has plenty of warmth, too, and the voices, which can blend so beautifully, have distinctive and colorful character when given solos lines. "Radiant" and "luminous" are adjectives that are perhaps overused in describing choral sound, but in this case they are fully deserved.
Jim Clements provides three new arrangements of traditional carols. They are notable for the way they capture and intensify the essential meaning of each carol. This is especially evident in his version of I Wonder As I Wander, which concludes with a wonderful, ecstatically wandering canon and which has the additional virtue of subtly and cleverly correcting the grammatical awkwardness of the first verse. The program is marvelously varied, but all of the pieces, whether written in the middle ages or the 21st century, are gorgeous examples of sumptuous choral writing, and these performance do them full justice. Highly recommended.
