About "Anonymous: Born On Earth" by The Choir Of St John’s Cambridge
Anonymous and ancient, 'Born on Earth' is a rustic gem. The Choir of St John's Cambridge polishes its plainchant contours into glowing homophony, the text a simple star over Bethlehem. The tension: divine birth in earthy simplicity, the choir's refined tone holding the rough-hewn original like a relic in velvet.
