Hope it is all good news. I'm looking forward to seeing how my list compares with yours when you post it on Sat, if you feel well enough.<br /><br />Christmas music<br /><br />Messiah --- any recording with Karen Clift, Soprano / Boston Baroque<br />(The St Martins-i-t-F Symphony & Chorus Messiah I think is just ghastly---way too schmaltzy. )<br /><br />Vivaldi Gloria<br /><br />“In Dulci Jubilo”<br /><br />“Panis Angelicus”<br /><br />Weinachts Oratorio ---- Teldec/ Harnoncourt<br /><br /> ( I believe I love the above all the more for having sung them at one time or another,<br /> formally and not so)<br /><br />Mass in B Minor<br /><br />“Bist du Bei Mir” ( from Anna Magdalena)<br /><br />Coronation Mass<br /><br />The Nutcracker Suite ( but skip the ballet , I’m not a fan )<br /><br />There are a couple of old carols I adore:<br />Joy to the World, Adeste Fidelis, Maria Wandered Through A Wood,<br />O Holy Night…and the last 3 verses of We Three Kings ( those words are powerful),<br />& The Coventry Carol.
