Easter from King's (The Choir of Kings College Cambridge/Stephen Cleobury) NTSC Region 0Label: Kings College CambridgeDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 'Easter from King s' is the first DVD release of the regular BBC broadcast which forms a cornerstone of the BBC s Easter programming. This service was first broadcast at Easter 2014 from the College s awe-inspiring Chapel. Featuring seasonal hymns and readings alongside choral favourites including Allegri s 'Miserere' the Lacrimosa from Mozart s Requiem the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel s 'Messiah' and Cesar Frank s 'Panis Angelicus' this collection presents a contemplation of Christ s death and resurrection. This world-famous choir is perhaps best-known for its Christmas broadcasts but gives daily sung services in the beautiful surroundings of King s College Chapel. Cameras are normally forbidden during services so this DVD provides a rare opportunity to experience the choir engaged in its core activity celebrating the most important festival of the Christian calendar. The DVD joins the label s other critically-acclaimed recordings including their first celebrated DVD release 'Carols from King s' and will be accompanied by an extensive international press and marketing campaign.
