Christmas

A collection of traditional carols with a modern day twist of Christmas songs that are sung from her heart like Heaven Everywhere, Marshmallow World, You're Here and Christmas Is! She sings a classic I love of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and the one we all love Joy to the World! A great Christmas album for the whole family!

On her 2012 Christmas album, Francesca Battistelli floats back to the bygone times of cabaret greats where singing rather than guitar riffs is at the fore. And she steps into a time where music is driven by transcending melodies that you could hum to your grandkids in 20 years time rather than non-descript ones that only re-vibrates radio airwaves for a flash. As the first note of Mel Torme and Robert Wells' """"The Christmas Song"""" strikes, we are transported into a time warp harkening back to the jazzy days of Rosemary Clooney and Bing Crosby. The inviting tango calls of the brass section, Battistelli's tonsil testing vocal glory and the ever endearing words of """"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire/Jack Frost nipping at your nose/Yuletide carols sung by a choir. . . """" are enough to get us prancing with glee and nostalgia in the euphoria of the season.
