The Christmas Album CD (2011)

[labbie]

As of Monday, December 12th, in the evening (Canadian time), this CD is #6 in the Amazon.ca Classical ratings. Bravo, Libera! You must have quite a following here in Canada, as this would seem to suggest.

Nice find, Jimmy - though it's toe-curling to hear the pronunciation LEE-burrah so many times in a row
Maybe Tom just needs to explain it one last time?

Great piece on that radio programme but more interesting is the other artists that are also being promoted - Libera along side Bocelli What price to attend a concert featuring those two

It would indeed be amazing if such an event were to happen. We got a slight taste of this when they hamonised with him on Songs of Praise during his solo for Amazing Grace. You could hear Libera's high voices above the stage choirs. Let's hope he or his agent asked about them.

P.S. you can catch Mr Bocelli on ITV's This Morning program on Monday, just before Libera perform on Wednesday. Shucks, they missed each other again!

Back to the album, no matter what the critics think, it's clear that the UK public are liking one particular carol at least...



Bocelli/Brightman's time to say goodbye is virtually unmoveable, so well done Libera! Lots of 99p sales from that!

Libera
“The Christmas Album”

If Christmas is for children, it should follow that Yuletide music is best sung by kids. “The Christmas Album” by the all-boys British choir Libera has a magical, calming effect on the nerves, especially “Still, Still, Still”—originally an Austrian folk tune—which recreates the peaceful vibe surrounding the Madonna and Child on the first Christmas.

Almost all the tracks are stress-busters, like “Veni, Veni Emmanuel,” “O Holy Night,” “White Christmas,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “The First Nowell,” “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks” and “Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)”—although they won’t necessarily put you to sleep. What it is bound to do is remind you of the joy and innocence of childhood as your own kid putters about.

On the other hand, “Carol of the Bells” and “In Dulci Jubilo” (German and Latin for “sweet rejoicing”) delivers a kick like freshly brewed coffee—sort of tells you to move your butt and help out in the kitchen for noche buena.

Hi! I'm a newbie here from the Philippines. Just wanted to say "Thank you" for sharing this. Just read about it at breakfast, 30 minutes ago..

So sorry....what have I done? Like I said, I'm a newbie. Don't know how to go about qouting and replying to a quote. Really sorry...

Hi Rach - don't worry

I edited your message to fix the small mistake (ofcourse, you had a difficult situation, quoting a message with a quote in it already ). Anytime you want to edit your own message, just click "Edit", also in the upper right hand corner
