The nights are drawing in, there's a nip in the air, and everywhere you go there are twinkling lights- it's time to prepare for Christmas! Let this album of festive classical works help you to get ready for the holidays as you light the Advent candle with Chilcott, build a snowman with Korngold, untangle the fairy lights with Liszt and get the box of baubles down from the loft with Tchaikovsky. Classical evergreens are here alongside some modern tunes like "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," and Irving Berlin's perennial classic "White Christmas." Then, once the halls have been decked and the presents are placed underneath the tree, have yourself a merry, musical Christmas!
