Following the success of their 2023 digital EP, Rutter Orchestral Carols, the Choir of King’s College Cambridge, releases All the Stars Looked Down: A John Rutter Celebration, a new album for Christmas 2025, featuring a selection of arrangements and original works for choir and orchestra under the direction of Daniel Hyde.
Recorded in the beloved Chapel of King’s College Cambridge, All the Stars Looked Down sees the choir performing with Britten Sinfonia, and includes beautiful orchestral arrangements of Christmas carols by Sir John Rutter alongside a selection of both well-loved and lesser-known carols by the great choral composers who have influenced Rutter, including Sir Philip Ledger, Sir David Willcocks and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The album’s title track, John Rutter’s All the Stars Looked Down, is dedicated to the late Sir Stephen Cleobury, whose enormous contribution to the Christmas choral legacy is also celebrated on this album.
