With drums beating and trumpets sounding, the Baroque Trumpet Ensemble Berlin
lets the English Christmas shine, carried by trombones, theorbos, and organ. The
ensemble, under the direction of Johann Plietzsch, contrasts the courtly sonic splendor
in the music of Byrd and Purcell with a Christmas of contemplation and reflection. The
Elizabethan antiphons and consort pieces are sparingly scored with lutes or a few winds.
Precisely this alternation of brilliance and introspection makes “The King’s Christmas”
so touching.
