Norwegian singer Sinikka Langeland is more proof, as if you need it, that ECM can do little wrong. Kantele music in a jazz idiom. Stunning.

[Music] Vocal School Choir of the Novodevichy Convent – Today Christ Is Born By The Virgin In Bethlehem
A Merry Christmas to our Gregorian-Calendar friends. Here’s a gift from the Vocal School Choir of the Novodevichy Convent!
[Music] Basiani Ensemble: Georgian Polyphony Singing – Religious Songs
The last post of the day, provided by The Basiani Ensemble. A peaceful and quiet Christmas to all.
[Music] Bel Canto Choir Vilnius – Shchedryk [Щедрик] (Carol of the Bells)
What a wonderful chorus! The Bel Canto Choir of Vilnius, Lithuania, do a standout performance of the Christmas classic written by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych.
[Music] Ivan Kozlovskiy – Ukrainian Christmas Carols (rec.1947)
We drift gently into the Nativity with a few Ukrainian Christmas Carols performed by tenor Ivan Kozlovskiy and orchestra.
[Music] Jón Leifs – Requiem, Op. 33b
Iceland’s greatest contribution to classical music. Jón Leifs needs far more promotion in the world of classical music, as do so many talents resting over there. They do pop and rock very well, but their contemporary classical scene is rather amazing.
[Music] Morton Feldman – Three Voices I-II
The proper title of this piece by Morton Feldman is Three Voices, for soprano & tape, or 3 sopranos (1982). It’s not one of his most famous pieces, but certainly is a favorite of mine.
[Music] Ólafur Arnalds feat. Arnór Dan – For Now I Am Winter
Arnór Dan, singer of Agent Fresco, is a new name for me, but Ólafur Arnalds has a long and sumptuous track record of producing gorgeous music.
[Music] Alexei Aigui – Octo
Ensemble 4’33” leader and violinist Alexei Aigui collaborates with the Ad Libitum Orchestra on a new piece, performed at the Moscow Conservatory earlier this year.
