John Rutter is the most acclaimed composer of Christmas carols alive today, while the Black Dyke Band occupies the highest rank in the worldwide brass band community. Raymond Bisha introduces a new album that bridges these two pinnacles in arrangements for brass of Rutter’s celebrated seasonal works, together with three in their original choral versions, representing a span of some sixty years of Rutter’s captivating output.
