Description

100 tracks on five albums in total make the largest collection of Christmas music available from the Capriccio label, which is also likely to be one of the most interesting and comprehensive in the retail market. The quietest time of the year is also, of course, the time when music is not only heard most frequently in public (in shops, at markets), but also perhaps still sung the most today. The music writer Marius Schneider once remarked: "God hungers for songs." And so the time of the symbolic birth of the Lord is a great time for music, even for those who may not be believers at heart. Capriccio thus presents 100 classical Christmas titles in this 5-album box set, performed by famous choirs and soloists. From Johann Sebastian Bach's sophisticated Christmas oratorio to simple, rural Christmas carols, some of which have been handed down for centuries. And naturally, the most famous of them all cannot be missing: Silent Night, Holy Night.
