Full performer name: Jose Carreras/Natalie Cole/Placido Domingo. Personnel: Jose Carreras, Natalie Cole, Placido Domingo (vocals); Lalo Schifrin (arranger); Elisabeth Ziegler (choir director); Vjekoslav Sutej (orchestra conductor); Wiener Symphoniker (orchestra); Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen Wiener Opernkinderchor [Vienna Children's Opera Choir] (background vocals). Recorded live at the Austria Center, Vienna, Austria on December 23, 1995. Includes liner notes by Michael Letchford. Three tenors minus one tenor plus one alto equals this unusual supergroup. Opera phenoms Carreras and Domingo have a go at 21 Christmas standards, with sleek pop crooner Cole sitting in for third tenor Luciano Pavarotti. The trio tackles yuletide favorites from "Winter Wonderland" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas" to traditional hymns like "Silent Night" and "O Joyful Children." The bold, larger-than-life voices of Carreras and Domingo interact with the pop stylings of Cole in a way that puts a previously-unheard spin on these songs. The amalgam of styles keeps these old favorites sounding fresh and invigorating. A CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS will give fans of these three singers enough listening pleasure to last long past the holiday season. Adapter: Lalo Schifrin. Liner Note Author: Michael Letchford. Ensembles: Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen; Wiener Symphoniker. Translator: Virginie Bauzou. Arranger: Lalo Schifrin. Recorded live in December of 1995, Celebration of Christmas is a joyous holiday album by Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Natalie Cole, who run through a set of standard carols and contemporary classics. In theory, Cole's voice doesn't quite mesh with the two tenors, but the voices work quite well together and the result is a wonderful celebration of the season. ~ Rodney Batdorf
