A selection of favourite music for the season of Advent at Wellington Cathedral: much of it is familiar world-wide, some is indigenous to these islands, and some is heard for the first time on this CD. From the heart of New Zealand’s capital city the meaning and the magic of the Christmas story is told once again.
