Live from Wigmore Hall: The Sixteen celebrate Christmas with a feast of music from the Renaissance.

The world-famous choir have called their programme, 'Resonet in Laudibus,' and Wigmore Hall should indeed resound in praise as they present an hour-long celebration of some of the finest Christmas music of the Renaissance along with some traditional carols from Ireland, England and the Basque Country.

Presented by Martin Handley.
