£87.00Holy Night in the Mountains Silence
Christmas in the Alps enchants people because of the very special atmosphere with a combination of attentive silence and the blue shining moonlight. At Christmas time, one can often hear in the distance a small group of wind players performing some old traditional carols in front of one or other little chapel in the mountains. This Christmas Carol medley by Willi Mrz reminds us of that tradition. He has arranged tunes from ancient Bavarian and Austrian Christmas Carols and shepherd songs. The religious 'Andachtsjodler' is still sung at Christmas time in the churches of Bavaria and Tyrol.

£93.60La Cambiale Di Matremonio - Gioachino Rossini

The opera 'La Cambiale di Matrimonio' (the change of the wedding) was the first professional opera composed by young Rossini. He completed it in 1820 in only a few days and was only aged eighteen. As it did not cope with the level of his later operas, the work fell somewhat in oblivion, though the overture remains a favourite of the orchestral repertoire and is still often performed.
