Offering 77 minutes of music and a 28-page booklet with Danish and English texts, A Danish Christmas is an anthology comparable to the best full-price releases. Insightful notes by Andrew Smith explain the significance of carols in the traditional Danish Christmas celebrations, helpfully setting the scene for this celebratory collection. Here is elegantly appealing music by composers famous (Carl Nielson's tender, "My Heart Always Wanders"), unfamiliar (Egil Harder's "The Christmas Tree With Its Decorations") and unknown--for many of these carols derive from the folk tradition. "Praise Be To You, Jesus Christ" is one of four carols to feature exquisite soprano sing...

Featuring music by 25 composers ranging from Mozart to Zimmer (best known as the composer of the Gladiator film score), Massive Classics is a two-CD compilation brimming with stirring and dramatic music, much of which is familiar through its use in television and film. It's also packaged in handy, bite-sized chunks. For example, we're given the opening to Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra (as used in 2001: A Space Odyssey) and an excerpt of Holst's thundering "Mars" from The Planets. This approach works well, although occasionally there is something more substantial to sink your teeth into--the glorious nine-minute closing scene from Wagn...

"The theme of this album is the birth of Christ, reflected in the words and music of 22 carols spanning more than six centuries." This description might also say that the programme contains some of the best and best-loved Christmas choral pieces of all time, presented in a pleasing mix of familiar carols and lesser-known original works. Among the best-known selections are Darke's "In the bleak mid-winter" and Howells's "A spotless rose." Several original pieces by John Rutter appear here for the first time--"Christmas Night", "There Is A Flower", and "Nativity Carol". Other notable highlights are Peter Cornelius's "The three kings" and the lively Willcocks arrangement of ...
