“I’ve loved ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ since I was a kid. When you hear it wherever you are in the world, it transports you immediately into the cosy world of Christmas. We’re performing an all-instrumental version, newly transcribed by one of the greatest arrangers of our time, Paul Bateman. Listen out for the gorgeous string sound and the way Paul distributes the melodies and the dulcet tones of the piece between the different string instruments. I just do my best to float above it all!”
