圣诞季节听的古典乐 Most Essential Christmas Masterpieces
适合圣诞季节聆听的古典乐; 无论在何时,何地都可享受到安详,宁静和温馨愉悦。
转眼间,又到了一年一度的圣诞节。
或许是印象太深刻的缘故,总是想到奥地利的Christmas Market.
不管手边有多少还没完成的工作,也不管小主管殷切的眼神,我匆匆逃离那困住我的小小空间,试著在台北街头,寻找那曾有的回忆。
走到公司附近的捷运站,竟然看到“圣心女中“的学生们立在捷运两侧唱著圣诞歌,
她们的歌声令人觉得温馨,儘管只是个小捷运站,仍不畏寒风的传递福音,这是我今年感受到的圣诞纷围。
但要在台北找到过去那种感觉,确实是有些勉强,就如同文化,不是一天两天就建立起来的。
我们的圣诞摆饰、活动,充其量只是应景的工具,
这样的节日不是我们生活的一部份,参与的人也不是真的对这个节日有所感动,
这样的思惟营造出来的产物自然无法触动人心。
或许,这样的节日,只需要单纯的祝福每位朋友: 平安 快乐
如果这样的心声能够被传递出去,这样的节日就有了意义。
Merry Christmas to all my friends~

Great bargain, good performances December 11, 2009

I have a fairly extensive collection of classical music, and Christmas music as well. This compilation, featuring mostly little known groups, is charming. Yes, one can find better performances of many of these works, but that quest is only for the obsessive audiophile. The choral works are recorded clearly. One problem I've often had with recording by excellent groups such as the King's College Choir is that they sound like they were recorded in a cathedral (and perhaps they were) so there is a lot of music and enunciation lost in the reverberation. There are a few instances where I wish the tempos were faster, but on the other hand this is a set to listen to while relaxing around the fire. A nice bonus -- the music from the Nutcracker features lots of the lesser known (but still beautiful) tunes, not just the ones one normally hears in a suite. And the inclusion of the more serious classical pieces by Bach, Corelli, etc., is fitting and a great addition.

A nice mix of Christmas and sacred classics plus orchestrated carols November 7, 2010

Format:MP3 Download
This is a fine collection -- some of it genuine classical music written in celebration of the holiday, some of it traditional and popular Christmas music arranged for orchestras, choirs and the like.
There are also a number of tracks that really had nothing to do with Christmas originally, but still manage to stake a claim to the Christmas theme. These are mainly selections from sacred works whose lyrics, often in Latin, refer to the birth of Jesus Christ in various ways -- such as Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus", César Franck's "Panis Angelicus", and many others featured here.
Finally, a few tracks have no claim on Christmas at all -- like Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto, Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, or a selection from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons". But no matter, these are good pieces that still fit adequately into the general mood of the set.
With only a few exceptions (such as a below par performance of Bach's "Air on a G String"), these are very good performances in good quality sound.
The track listing indicates that tracks 9-26 are the Nutcracker Suite (Op 71a), but it really these are the full Nutcracker Ballet (Op 71). These are the same recordings featured by the X5 group on its Tchaikovsky set, so if you have that one you'll be getting some duplication here. The same can be said for people with some of the collections of Baroque music, or of composers like Bach or Vivaldi.
For me, the bona fide classical tracks are more successful than the carols that have been dressed up for orchestra and chorus. The latter can sound very sugary in a way that music composed for classical performance usually does not. But that is a matter of personal taste, and yours may be different.
As with all these "99 Most Essential" sets from X5, bitrates are variable. Average rates for the tracks vary between 155 and 256 kbps, but only a handful are below 200 kbps. This collection is shorter than most of the sets in the series, at just 5 hours and 56 minutes. Total download size is "only" 582 MB.
I am always glad to expand my Christmas music collection, and this set is a terrific bargain at the special offer price. Recommended.
