The Royal Scottish National Orchestra’s Christmas Concert, which takes place every December with performances in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen, is for many one of the highlights of the festive season. This disc is a sample of the very best of these concerts, from well-loved family favourites – Twelve Days of Christmas, Jingle Bells – to the unique lesser-known works that make this event so consistently popular, such as Christmas Alphabet and The Penguin Song (which includes dance moves in the CD Booklet and above…) “The CD is designed to recreate the atmosphere and sense of occasion at the RSNO's very popular Christmas concerts with Bell, and it certainly succeeds: the orchestra and choirs are on cracking form, especially the kids, jollying along the sleighs, letting the ice sparkle and the jazzy numbers melt.” Classic FM Magazine, January 2011 **** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Elisabeth Grümmer became in 1946 a regular member of the Städtische Oper Berlin (now the Deutsche Oper), which was her primary professional association throughout her career, remaining with that major company through 1972. In April 1967 she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera New York as Elsa in Lohengrin. Elisabeth Grümmer’s exquisite voice and admirable dramatic gifts made her an exemplary interpreter of the music of Mozart and Richard Strauss. She restricted herself to a rather small repertoire she made very much her own: Pamina, Donna Anna, Ilia, the Countess Almaviva, Agathe, Hänsel, Oktavian, the Marschallin, Countess Madeleine, Eva, Elsa, Elisabeth, Gutrune, Freia and Desdemona. “...it is the Weber and Verdi items that show her voice, phrasing and breath control at their glorious best...beautifully accompanied by Richard Kraus and the Berlin Opera Orchestra.” Sunday Times, 19th September 2010 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.
