Various Artists - Nuit de Noel (CD) - CD

Details: We bring together on two albums the most beautiful songs from Noël baroque, a release by the Maîtrise de Radio France and Les Musiciens de Saint Julien under François Lazarevitch that has enjoyed great success in recent years, completed by Noëls en Pays d'Oc and other ancient Christmas carols. The second album presents excerpts from great sacred classical masterpieces (such as Handel's Messiah and Vivaldi's Gloria by Hervé Niquet, and Bach's B minor Mass by Raphaël Pichon) as well as instrumental pieces including Corelli's 'Christmas' Concerto by Amandine Beyer and excerpts from Bach's Brandenburg Concertos by Café Zimmermann and 'Winter' from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. An ideal programme of music to accompany Christmas Eve. This double album is presented in an elegant 'popup' that can be placed at the foot of the tree when the time comes!
