The Choir of Royal Holloway’s new album release

Ola Gjeilo’s “Winter Songs” for Decca Classics

High summer saw Ola Gjeilo in London recording his new album for Decca Classics – “Winter Songs”. Rupert Gough conducted the Royal Holloway Choir, the Twelve Ensemble and Ola on piano in a set of beautiful tracks reflecting the winter season, in which Christmas tracks mix with original compositions.

Following on from Ola’s first Decca Classics album, which included tracks performed by VOCES8, this new album release is sure to be just as popular.

Under the hot summer sun The Choir of Holloway has been recording seasonal winter and Christmas songs this month by the composer and pianist Ola Gjeilo. Destined to be a release from Decca Classics this December, the playlist features Ola’s arrangements of well-known traditional carols as well as some of his original compositions for choir, piano and strings (the superb 12 Ensemble), all conducted by Rupert Gough. The album is the follow-up to Ola’s first Decca album.

This summer the choir will give concerts in France. See the details here.
