Product Description

Amarcord's "Coming Home for Christmas" is a captivating choral journey through the medieval and contemporary Christmas music landscape. Released on November 15, 2011, under the Raumklang (edition apollon) label, this 55-minute album is a testament to the ensemble's versatility and musical prowess.

The album opens with the lively "Juokse, porosein!" and takes you through a diverse range of tracks, from the hauntingly beautiful "So viel Heimlichkeit" to the familiar carols "Stille Nacht" and "Hark! The herald angels sing." Amarcord's unique interpretations of these classic pieces, along with their renditions of lesser-known international carols like "Betelehemu" and "Parang Christmas Chutney," make this album a delightful exploration of global Christmas traditions.

The album also features a remix of "So viel Heimlichkeit" by Zuckerbaecker, adding a modern twist to the medieval repertoire. With their rich harmonies and precise delivery, Amarcord brings a fresh perspective to these timeless tunes, making "Coming Home for Christmas" a standout addition to any holiday music collection. Whether you're a fan of choral music or simply looking to expand your Christmas playlist, this album is sure to impress.
