Both performances were very good, but Sunday was generally the better of the two in my opinion. This playlist has the Sunday version of all songs and readings except a few that, for technical reasons, sounded better in the Saturday recording (Shortest Day, Noel, Once as I remember, Journey of the Magi, Starlight Night). I also replaced the organ intro on “Midnight Clear” with the Saturday version, because there was a little bobble in the playing on Sunday.
