The 23 tracks range from the Renaissance song "Riu, riu, chiu," to standard English, American, French, and German carols, to modern classics like Leroy Anderson's orchestral "Sleigh Ride" and Mel Tormé's "Christmas Song."" The Bach Choir sings with spirit and full, warm tone and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays with gusto. One of the most appealing tracks is an exceptionally sweet version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" arranged by Peter Knight, one of several pieces sung by the excellent male British vocal ensemble Over the Bridge.
