Do you know the country?

Landlust, country living, beautiful country, country kitchen - everything that has to do with these attributes, is currently all the rage. In an era of financial crisis and the burnout is not surprising so, and fortunately the lost paradise is mostly a few kilometers outside the door, and not so far away as the Garden of Eden. As Christmas comes just in time to nail a holly wreath on an old barn and to suggest to the public, so something there would be only in the countryside.

Now On 2 CDs together with a beautifully laid-out booklet we find 24 Christmas titles, by candlelight, mulled wine and the first place we take us to heart. Schön, the first track with the Welsh Christmas carol 'Deck the Hall' is wonderfully light and dance therefore - after you have the sound of Christmas music do not always have the same tears of emotion in his eyes. The recording with the London Chamber Orchestra is really succeeded. And so it goes well. Particularly noteworthy Handel's famous Largo in a rarely heard arrangement by Leopold Stokowski with the Norman Luboff Choir, for me the highlight of the CD stated. Pay attention to the madness crescendo of the choir at the beginning - absolute goose bumps! Also 'The Bleak Midwinter' by Gustav Holst presents itself in an elegant symphonic occupation by the London Festival Orchestra. Camille Saent-Saens' 'Tollite Hostias' in a recording with L'arpa festante and the Bach Choir Mainz is just a pearl, as well as' Minuit, Chrétien' by Adolphe Adam and of course ultimately Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, very delicate and over more and more weightless music played by the Camerata St.Andrew with Leonard Friedman.

That was it but also already. Everything else is known sufficiently and abundant in our record collection: much Georg Ratzinger, cathedral choir, Kruzianer, even the Munich Bach Choir had to be resuscitated, and 'power up the door' has much of the Frauenkirche in Dresden on 1 Advent beautiful heard as it has done on the CD of the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Well, one has to bear. I'm already grateful that we remained the Schwarzwaldfamilie Seitz and something like 'It Wurd scho Dumpa' saves. This would have probably have to expect when it comes to 'Landlust'.
