Ora Singers: The Mystery of Christmas

The ORA Singers, led by the enigmatic Suzi Digby, have crafted a Christmas album that is as mysterious as it is merry. A Mystery Of Christmas opens with the hauntingly beautiful "O Come O Come Emmanuel", setting the tone for a journey through traditional carols and lesser-known works. Digby's choir delivers stunning vocal performances that transport listeners to a winter wonderland filled with wonder and magic. The ethereal harmonies on tracks such as "In Dulci Jubilo" and "Coventry Carol" will send shivers down your spine, while the lively renditions of "Ding Dong Merrily on High" and "I Saw Three Ships" will leave you tapping your toes and feeling festive. What sets ORA Singers apart from other choirs is their ability to infuse each song with a sense of intrigue and curiosity. The arrangement of "The Lamb" by John Tavener is a perfect example of this, with its hypnotic rhythms and mesmerising harmonies drawing you in and keeping you hooked until the very last note. Overall, A Mystery Of Christmas is a triumph for Suzi Digby and the ORA Singers. This album is a must-listen for anyone craving a festive escape that is equal parts enchanting and beguiling. So grab a mince pie, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine, and let ORA Singers take you on a journey through the wonder and magic of Christmas.
