Dietrich Henschel, the renowned baritone, presents a unique and captivating holiday experience with his album "X-mas Contemporary & X-mas Percussive." Released on November 6, 2020, under the Farao Classics label, this choral masterpiece spans an impressive 1 hour and 25 minutes, featuring 24 tracks that blend contemporary arrangements with traditional Christmas themes.
Henschel, known for his powerful and expressive voice, collaborates with arranger and musician Simone Rubino to create a fresh and innovative take on classic Christmas carols and compositions. The album showcases Henschel's versatility as he performs on both baritone and celesta, accompanied by Rubino and an ensemble of talented musicians.
From the hauntingly beautiful "The Mistletoe" to the lively "O Tannenbaum," each track is meticulously arranged to highlight the rich harmonies and rhythms that define the season. The album also includes lesser-known pieces like "La Blancheur abolit le temps" and "Soixante et quelques mains pour la Nativité," offering a delightful mix of familiar and new melodies.
"X-mas Contemporary & X-mas Percussive" is not just a collection of songs; it's a testament to Dietrich Henschel's artistic prowess and his ability to breathe new life into timeless classics.
