Christmas Goes Baroque/Scenes from Switzerland - Naxos Deutschland

"Christmas goes Baroque/Scenes from Switzerland"
Zurich's bustling holiday shoppers; twinkling lights reflected in magical window displays; the famed Toy Museum in Nuremberg a bountiful Christmas feast; an elaborate Nativity scene; the snow covered landscape of Switzerland. These are the joyously evocative images of the Christmas season and inspiration for some of the most beloved Christmas carols of all the time.
This volume of the NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY takes you on a magical European holiday tour swept up by the sounds of such holiday favourites as "Jingle Bells", "Silent Night", "The First Neol", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman", "O Tannenbaum" and many more.
