The only Christmas special where you'll weep to a choir and not feel weird about it.
Katie Derham introduces a retelling of the Nativity through the music of John Rutter. Conducted by Rutter himself at Dorchester Abbey, with readings by Simon Russell Beale.
Score
Rutter's melodies are basically engineered to break your heart gently.
Production
Dorchester Abbey's acoustics doing holy heavy lifting.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rutter's carols are basically the UK's unofficial Christmas soundtrack—this is church music for people who haven't been to church since 1987.
Dorchester Abbey's stained glass includes a rare 'Jesse window' that dates to 1320, making the building itself a character in the nativity story.
