Ikon under David Hill gives Choral Music for Christmas in "Venite, Gaudete!" off Naxos


Ikon under David Hill gives Choral Music for Christmas in "Venite, Gaudete!" off Naxos
Choral Music (Christmas) - NILES, J.J. / JOUBERT, J. / KIRKPATRICK, W.J. / HOLST, G. (Venite, Gaudete: Music for the Christmas Season) (Ikon, D. Hill)

This glorious programme represents both the unique magic of Christmas carols, and the deeply rooted tradition of re-inventing their words and music for the times in which they are performed. 

From David Hill’s unashamedly lush, close-part harmonies enhancing Silent Night, to Eric Whitacre’s hallmark luminous vocal textures in "Lux aurumque," this recording is a superb celebration of the moving atmosphere and festive nature of the Christmas season.

Naxos Releases Rimsky-Korsakov's "Christmas Eve" Opera

 


Naxos Releases Rimsky-Korsakov's "Christmas Eve" Opera

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV, N.A.: Christmas Eve [Opera] (G. Vasiliev, Muzychenko, A. Popov, Shkoza, Tikhomirov, Frankfurt Opera Chorus and Orchestra, Weigle)

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Christmas Eve, based on a short story by Gogol, centres on the love of the blacksmith Vakula for the rich farmer’s daughter Oksana, who mockingly requires him to obtain for her the Tsarina’s shoes in order to win her hand in marriage. However, evil spirits are on the rampage imperiling their love – a witch on her broomstick gathers the stars and the devil steals the moon. Rimsky-Korsakov blends Christian and pagan elements, Ukrainian folk songs and carols, and atmospheric orchestral interludes in this vivacious and fantastical village romance.
