Jonas Kaufmann's wonderful Christmas gift is a two-disc set of Christmas masterpieces! Kaufman presents a wealth of familiar and beloved Christmas carols and songs, filled with his own memories and joys of the holidays. From ancient Christian hymns to modern pop classics, the 40 Kaufman favorites reflect the many facets of Christmas. I have a number of fond memories about Christmas,\" Kaufman said. Christmas is a time of contemplation and remembrance, a celebration of joy and light,\" Kaufmann writes in the liner notes. Ever since it appeared on the front page of the Munich newspaper, Christmas has had a special meaning for him. The songs he has chosen for ''This Album'' reflect that happy experience and the many emotions and joys of the Christmas Holiday, from the worship of thanksgiving to the festive euphoria with family and friends.Traditional German Christmas songs are exactly the ones Kaufmann sang around the Christmas tree with his family every Christmas Eve as a child. Included are unforgettable English carols (\"Sing the Messenger\" and \"The Wood Blows Cold\"), as well as world favorites such as \"The Stars Are Twinkling Softly\" and \"Silent Night\". Included are some relatively rare but heartwarming German Alpine Christmas songs with harp accompaniment. In addition, there are the classic American pop holiday songs, \"Let It Snow,\" \"Winter Wonderland,\" \"The Christmas Song,\" \"Have a Small but Happy Christmas,\" and \"White Christmas,\" which is literally a Christmas extravaganza! For Kaufman, these casual, intimate holiday classics bring back special memories. He said, \"The moment everyone sat around the tree, surrounded by piles of gifts and wrapping paper, they were overjoyed, all the exhaustion they had felt up to that point gone.And my father would bring out his record collection and play jazz records by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald...,\" he recalls. On this album, he is accompanied by the St. Florian's Boys Choir, the Salzburg Bach Choir, the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra, and Florian Pedernich's Tyrolean harp.
