Christmas in Bavaria

Product Information

Product Description

This live studio recording comes from one of the most lovely Baroque churches in Southern Germany. The former monastery church of Rott am Inn in Upper Bavaria provides a perfect setting in architectural and artistic terms for a concert comprising a selection of music for Christmas. The film tells the story of the birth of Christ using the words of the Scriptures to the accompaniment of music ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach, Anton Bruckner, Max Reger and Johannes Brahms to old Bavarian folk tunes. Performed by the Neubeuern Choral Society, a lay choir who have become world famous for their professional standard in performances of both ecclesiastical and traditional domestic music and the Bach-Collegium of Munich, a body of individually established players from various Munich ensembles. Enoch zu Guttenberg conducts the musical performance. Includes optional English subtitles of The Story of Christmas and translations of the song text and as well as liner notes, a glossary of music terms, historical markers for the pieces, and performer profiles. Audio options are 5.1 surround sound and PCM stereo
