Christmas in the Alps enchants people because of the very special atmosphere with a combination of attentive silence and the blue shining moonlight.

This Christmas Carol medley by Willi Mrz reminds us of that tradition. He has arranged tunes from ancient Bavarian and Austrian Christmas Carols and shepherd songs. The religious 'Andachtsjodler' is still sung at Christmas time in the churches of Bavaria and Tyrol.

£93.60La Cambiale Di Matremonio - Gioachino Rossini
Gioacchino Rossini is famous as composer of a fabulous series op splendid operas of which the overtures are often most popular and appreciated.

As it did not cope with the level of his later operas, the work fell somewhat in oblivion, though the overture remains a favourite of the orchestral repertoire and is still often performed.
