Award-winning European vocal act Adoro join forces with the boys' choir and Anna Prohaska in a heart-warming rendition of the German nation's favourite carol - "Oh du fröhliche".

Daniel Hope and Albrecht Mayer perform the famous “Largo ma non tanto” from Bach´s Violin Double Concerto BWV 1043 and Anna Prohaska wows with her performance of famous carols such as “Leise rieselt der Schnee”, “Maria durch ein Dornwald ging” (a capella with the choir), “Stille Nacht” and “Oh Holy Night”. The Augsburger Domsingknaben contribute a fine selection of German Christmas carols, a cappella and with orchestra. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Adams's recorder playing is musically dazzling...but the other players complete an ensemble which is delightfully fresh and alive” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
