Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the Japanese lyrics on White Christmas Part II which transforms a standard into a global lullaby.
The driving, rhythmic percussion on Shchedryk that gives the Ukrainian Bell Carol a cinematic, urgent energy.
The delicate, harp-led opening of La vergine degli angeli that feels like stepping into an empty, moonlit cathedral.
