Album information
This new recording captures the magic of the season as the RSNO and its Junior Chorus deliver a perfect selection of classic festive favourites in A Christmas Festival.
These charming performances show why their joyous, fun-packed Christmas concerts, conducted by the inimitable Christopher Bell, are always a highlight of the Scottish seasonal calendar. The well-chosen programme finds traditional favourites, such as 'Jingle Bells', 'In A Cottage In A Wood' and 'Jolly Old Saint Nicholas', sitting harmoniously alongside contemporary tunes from Michael Head and Howard Blake (The Snowman, The Bear).
An unexpected but brilliant instrumental mash-up up of 'The Little Dummer Boy' with Ravel's Bolero gives centre-stage to the award-winning RSNO. Two fantastic medleys provide a one stop shop of Christmas tunes both old and new which you'll be hard pressed not to join in with!
At turns rousing, sentimental, cheering and familiar this is the perfect present this Christmas.
