The album is really a couple of years old-but not dusty. I must confess, I love Christmas but I have not a single classic German Christmas CD in the closet. Finally, I can now also listen to good music Christmas, thanks to the Count. Old texts implemented class and thanks to the music heard not only at Christmas time. Too bad that I have not been much more decided to buy this disc. Small supplement 11/12: I hear this album now for the umpteenth time and it keeps getting better. Vocally and musically a feast for the ears, heard as "phosphor" and "The 2nd Law" one of my favorite albums. Certainly the carols are interpreted completely differently, but the melodies go to the spoon and the rhythms in the legs, what you want more? Sooooo strong buy recommendation.
