Just about all of the seasonal favourites are here on a disc of carols that exudes a decidedly Christmassy glow. What makes this one stand out from the crowd of festive offerings is the standard of the performances from the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, which sings with a superb sense of ensemble, perfect tuning and crystal clear diction under Richard Marlow. The solo treble who begins "The Holly and the Ivy" gently eases the listener in to the 80-minute-long programme. Marlow takes an almost devotional approach to some carols (notably "Away in a Manger" and "While Shepherds Watched"). The account of "God rest ye merry, gentlemen" is warm and affectionate, traits that could be said to characterise the disc as a whole. The various arrangements by David Willcocks are as familiar and welcoming as an old pair of slippers: one never tires of their imagination and finesse. A disc of traditional Yuletide offerings, this disc is admirably recorded and performed with real affection by one this country's top choirs.

DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS DOWNLOAD IF LOSSLESS IS WHAT YOU WANT.
The music IS NOT LOSSLESS flac but 100% mp3 origin as detected by auCDtect (via foobar).
Either the poster's source file is poor to begin with (most probable) or he is faking it (ie. transcoding mp3 to flac) which is unlikely as EAC log is furnished.
The same goes for your "Enya: Sounds of the Season " <http://www.avaxhome.ws/music/other_styles/Christmas/ESOFTS.html> thread.

Dakszhund here.
Both discs have been ripped from CD source and NOT transcoded by me. I got these disc from a friend of mine, where he did get the source, I can't spy it.
If they are coming from some compressed source, I apologize. Simply ignore my post.

update: based on this 'unclean circumstances' I deleted the files.

Kudos for clarifying & putting to rest the issue.
I sincerely hope it does not detract you from sharing more.
You are a respected contributor here & your works are much appreciated. Please continue as usual.
Notwithstanding the lossy source of the 2 albums I will still retain them for listening pleasure until a lossless format is shared.
Seasons Greetings in advance by the way!

You're kidding zhuge.liang, right? First you yell at the contributor (CAPS) and accuse him of "faking it," then you say you'll keep the recordings that, because of your actions, are denied to the rest of us? Bah humbug, you Scrooge. Please Dakszhund, reup these links if you would, so the rest of us can enjoy a fine recording for this holiday season.
