English Summary:

Recorded live on July 16th from the Freiburg Cathedral, with soprano Barbara Bonney, worldwide renowned for the clarity of her voice and the precision of her diction and baritone Matthias Goerne, whose recent interpretation with Sir Alfred Brendel revealed him to be one of the most promising singers of his generation. A wonderful Christmas Concert with the Freiburger Barockorchester and the German Brass which performs pieces by Bach, Mozart, and Handel. 

The historic Freiburg Cathedral became the perfect setting for this concert of Baroque Christmas Favorites, captured live in 1999. Excerpts from Bach's Christmas Oratorio and many other seasonal Bach standards couple with yet more musical, seasonal gifts by Handel and Mozart. Packaged in luxury digipak format and featuring soprano Barbara Bonney and baritone Matthias Goerne with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, German Brass and the Freiburger Domsingknaben, this DVD deserves all due consideration as the soundtrack for every Christmas holiday celebrant, or gifted for such.
