Christmas Oratorio & Lauda Per La Nativita Del Signore
(SACD-HYBRID) This SACD contains two great works from the vast quantity of classical Christmas music: one from the era of late Romanticism, the other from the aftermath of post-Romanticism. Both works are in accord with each other - Nordic singers and young musicians create, under the direction of their vital leader, a fresh and airy sound. Very few recordings on the market exist of Camille Saint-Saens' Christmas Oratorio. This is the first SACD of this work. It was recorded in 1981 and features the mezzo-soprano solo parts sung by the world famous Anne Sofie von Otter.
