Fünf CDs mit europäischer Musik vom Mittelalter bis heute, die thematisch zu Weihnachten passt, gespielt und gesungen von weltbekannten Interpreten wie dem Concentus musicus, Alsfelder Vokalensemble, Worcester Cathedral Choir, Gustav Leonhardt, Franz Lehrndorfer u.a. Das Kammerorchester I Solisti di Duino spielt weihnachtliche Evergreens wie Little Drummer Boy, Stille Nacht, Alle Jahre Wieder im klassischen Stil. the projectCelestial Harmonies continues its tradition of presenting
classics for the holidays with the release of Celestial Christmas
2. While its popular predecessor, Celestial Christmas (13002),
featured sacred choral and instrumental music from the High Renaissance
and Baroque eras, Celestial Christmas 2 offers a special collection
of seasonal favorites arranged in Baroque style performed by the musicians
of the I Solisti di Duino under the direction of conductor Antonio
Pellegrino.
This anthology of carols from the thirteenth to the
nineteenth centuries flows naturally, with rich orchestral arrangements
and sparkling instrumental counterpoint unifying the many moods of
Christmas. It sounds almost as if Celestial Christmas 2 explores feelings of compassion, wonder, renewal, and joy through the masterful reworking of traditionals like Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, O Tannenbaum, and The First Noël. In addition, the recording also offers a fresh perspective on the holidays with lesser known works like the seventeenth century Czechoslovakian carol Kommet Ihr Hirten, and the anonymous Sicilian shanty O du Fröhliche. tracklist
