Info for The Chelsea Carol

For this Christmas Eric Whitacre sends a musical salute around the world. On 'The Chelsea Carol EP' presents the inventor of the 'Virtual Choir' and Grammy Award-winner two festive and heartwarming choral works: the solemn 'Ave Maris Stella' by Renaissance master Guillaume Dufay and a new work by Whitacre himself, 'The Chelsea Carol '- sung by the phenomenal Eric Whitacre Singers, conducted by Whitacre.

'This was a festive delight... Whitacre is as much of a draw as his music. With his likeable persona, he is the rock star of contemporary classical music' (thegizzlereview.com)

'Eric Whitacre... you haven't heard about him you're surely about to in a big way' (www.stephenlayton.com)

'Eric is almost too good to be true.' (The Telegraph)

'It's impossible not to be a fan of Whitacre, if only for those early choral masterpieces and for the sheer enthusiasm, excitement, and optimism he brings to his work.' (www.ClassicsToday.com)
