[ Sony Classical / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 20 November 2020
With his new album It's Christmas! Jonas Kaufmann echoes his own holiday memories and joys, celebrating the most festive time of the year with a unique selection of beloved songs and carols. It's full of traditional German songs he used to sing round the tree as a child (including O Tannenbaum and O du fröhliche), some of your favourite carols (In the Bleak Midwinter and Jingle Bells to name but two) and a host of Christmas pop favourites such as Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!, White Christmas and Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You. Well, if the world's favourite tenor singing these classics can't salvage Christmas 2020, then nobody can!
