Christmas Meditation: Doesn't that sound like a distant memory from a forgotten time? The quietest time of the year is, of course, often the loudest, with music seemingly present everywhere. A tinkling, singing, swinging pop-sentimental soundtrack to the ever-present consumer frenzy. "Christmas Meditation" brings together 100 truly contemplative and relaxing classical Christmas pieces, performed by famous choirs and soloists. From Bach, Handel and Praetorius to Corelli, Manfredini and Locatelli, and on to Bruch, Mendelssohn and Gruber.
