    Album Description

    Celestial Christmas is a richly textured musical tapestry that gracefully weaves together selections of sacred choral and instrumental music from the High Renaissance and Baroque eras. The recording journeys through moods of tenderness, solemnity, and joy, as expressed by Johann Sebastian Bach in the numerous choral selections from his Christmas oratorios and cantatas, including the beloved 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring' and 'Sleepers, Awake!' as well as the prayer for peace from the glorious 'Mass in B Minor'. Bach is also the featured composer in the many joyful instrumental pieces for harpsichord, flute, and organ. Also included in the program are many exceptionally beautiful pieces, both choral and instrumental, by Claudio Monteverdi, Orlande de Lassus, Henry Purcell, William Lawes, Carlo Farina, Johann Pachelbel, and Georg Friedrich Händel.

      Album Description

      This special collection of seasonal works includes over an hour of the most moving and beautiful Christmas compositions of Europe's Baroque era. The instrumental music of Celestial Christmas 3 is a fabulous addition to any listener's compilation of Christmas recordings. Baroque instrumental music is distinguished by the all-pervasive basso continuo: an instrumental bass line played on a low melody instrument, with expressive harmonies created on keyboard, strings, or plucked instruments. Baroque music came to its pinnacle with the Italian and German composers of the seventeenth to mid-eighteenth centuries. Celestial Christmas 3 includes eight of those pre-eminent composers. Four Italian composers, Arcangelo Corelli, Francesco Maria Manfredini, Giuseppe Torelli and Pietro Locatelli, each provide a glorious Christmas Concerto. These are interspersed with three shorter pieces from German composers Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Handel and Johann Pachelbel. The spectacular montage comes to a grand conclusion with Antonio Vivaldi's stunning Winter from The Four Seasons. Each of the pieces is tremendously emotional; together, they are powerfully stirring. Even though the composers intended them as Christmas music, most listeners would not want to limit Celestial Christmas 3 to that season alone. Not only is the music itself gloriously gratifying, but the European orchestra and its conductor perform each piece with remarkable virtuosity.

      This is the third in this series of Christmas recordings released by Celestial Harmonies, each offering a unique contribution to the joy of the Christmas season.

        Album Description

        Celestial Harmonies continues its tradition of presenting classics for the holidays with the release of Celestial Christmas 2. While its popular predecessor, Celestial Christmas featured sacred choral and instrumental music from the High Renaissance and Baroque eras, Celestial Christmas 2 offers a special collection of seasonal favorites arranged in Baroque style performed by the musicians of the I Solisti Di Duino under the direction of conductor Antonio Pellegrino. This anthology of carols from the thirteenth to the nineteenth centuries flows naturally, with rich orchestral arrangements and sparkling instrumental counterpoint unifying the many moods of Christmas. It sounds almost as if Johann Sebastian Bach or Antonio Vivaldi themselves have incorporated these beloved melodies into a festive holiday suite. Celestial Christmas 2 explores feelings of compassion, wonder, renewal, and joy through the masterful reworking of traditionals like Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, O Tannenbaum, and The First Noel. In addition, the recording also offers a fresh perspective on the holidays with lesser known works like the seventeenth century Czechoslovakian carol Kommet Ihr Hirten, and the anonymous Sicilian shanty O du Frohliche.

        5 out of 5 stars Clestial Christmas worth a million stars.......2001-12-12

        I have had this collection on cassette and have listened to it faithfully for years. I did not have a CD player at the time, and then it went out of print, so I am thrilled to find it here. The album is a sensitively made collection of music for Christmas, not all of it familiar, but all very well performed with a peaceful spirit. This CD is well worth the effort to get it.
