MERRY CHRISTMAS! The most beautiful Christmas classics for the whole family. This is exactly how Christmas must sound: Like apple scent, cinnamon stars & beeswax.
The beauty of German Christmas carols has been reaching the world for over 800 years. The birth of Jesus, community in the family, traditional values are sung. For the recording of this Christmas album on DG, top-class classical artists as well as the Augsburger Domsingknaben and the Deutsche Kammerorchester Berlin have now come together, young classical stars are taking up an old tradition and interpreting beautiful well-known Christmas songs such as “Oh You Cheerful”, “Silent Night” and others.. Anna Prohaska and the vocal ensemble Adoro sing. Daniel Hope and Albrecht Mayer can be heard together in a transcription of the famous “Largo ma non tanto” from Bach’s Concerto for two violins, and the clear voices of the boys’ choir sound heavenly. Together they celebrate contemplation. The album is reminiscent of a time when Christmas was not yet characterized by consumption, but was celebrated as a spiritual festival. MERRY CHRISTMAS! is your soundtrack to the celebration. Christmas just like in the old days, and still completely up-to-date!
