Anne Sofie Von Otter - Home For Christmas
Review by Shelly Campbell
Anne Sofie Von Otter's album "Home For Christmas" is a delightful collection of traditional Christmas carols and popular holiday songs. The Swedish mezzo-soprano's pure and crystal-clear voice is perfectly suited for these timeless tunes, bringing a sense of warmth and joy to the listener.
The album features classic carols such as "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and "Silent Night" alongside more contemporary songs like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song." Von Otter's interpretation of each piece is both heartfelt and elegant, with a subtle and refined musicality that is sure to please fans of classical music and holiday music alike.
Throughout the album, Von Otter is joined by a variety of talented musicians, including the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir. The arrangements are tasteful and sophisticated, with a focus on Von Otter's voice and the beauty of each song.
