Fryd
Ramlo-Ystad, Cantus 2L (2019), via Qobuz I can’t understand a word of any of these Norwegian Christmas songs, but the singing is beautiful.

What Holiday Music are you listening to today?
Quote:
Gabby Pahinui, Atta Isaacs, Ray Kane, Dennis Kamakahi, John Keawe, Makana, Sonny Lim, Keola Beamer, Jeff Peterson - that should keep you busy for a while. Actually a great starting point for Hawaiian music is the soundtrack album from The Descendants.

Nils Landgren - Christmas With My friends IV
Qobuz 24/96 Some tracks are really well done, some are less engaging.

Not a holiday album specifically but has that warm and fuzzy, romantic gooeyness to it. Good around the holidays.

Not the traditional Christmas music but it is great around the holidays
"The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (German: Nussknacker und Mausekönig) is a story written in 1816 by Prussian author E. T. A. Hoffmann, in which young Marie Stahlbaum's favourite Christmas toy, the Nutcracker, comes alive and, after defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, whisks her away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. In 1892, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov turned Alexandre Dumas's adaptation of the story into the ballet The Nutcracker. The story begins on Christmas Eve, at the Stahlbaum house. Marie, seven, and her brother, Fritz, sit outside the parlour speculating about what kind of present their godfather, Drosselmeyer, who is a clockmaker and inventor, has made for them. They are at last allowed in, where they receive many splendid gifts, including Drosselmeyer's, which turns out to be a clockwork castle with mechanical people moving about inside it. However, as they can only do the same thing over and over without variation, the children quickly tire of it. At this point, Marie notices a nutcracker, and asks to whom he belongs. Her father tells her that he belongs to all of them, but that since she is so fond of him she will be his special caretaker. She, Fritz, and their sister, Louise, pass him amongst themselves, cracking nuts, until Fritz tries to crack one that is too big and hard, and his jaw breaks. Marie, upset, takes him away and bandages him with a ribbon from her dress. Anyway.... Duke Ellington The three suites. Nutcracker. |
