In this episode of 'Classics Unlocked', Graham Abbott looks at two beautiful English works from the first half of the 20th century which evoke the spirit of Christmas and which are inspired by seasonal carols and poetry: Benjamin Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols' and Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'Fantasia on Christmas Carols'.
