Ludwig G ttler - Baroque Christmas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The musical interests of Ludwig Guttler know no borders, but the festivity of Christmas in all it's magic is particularly close to Guttler's heart InchI want to bring a selection to the audience that does justice to the occasion and the wonderful music that was created for it,Inch says Guttler about his motivation for the many Christmas editions he was part of in his career. The four best-selling Christmas albums of recent years are presented in this 4 CD Edition, with highlights of popular and heartwarming music for the most atmospheric time of the year

The celebration of the Nativity has always been a source of inspiration for composers. The different elements of the evangelical narrative evoke numerous images tender feelings before the Baby Jesus; the gentleness of his mother, the Virgin Mary; the procession of the three Wise Men; the angelic choirs in Heaven; and these shepherds gathered in the manger. All that appears in the musical repertoire linked to this holiday, as well as the presence of colorful instrumentations and themes connected to folk traditions. This sublime 37-track set brings together all these elements, drawn from the repertoires of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.
