Luckily, I "stumbled" onto "A Boston Camerata Christmas" on Sirius/XM on one of their Classical Channels, as they are performing Classical Christmas Music all week! Don't write this one off - just listen to the Samples provided! Clear, crisp, excellent recordings of English, French and Spanish Christmas music. Well worth the $20/U.S. offereed by Amazon!

I rate: "A Boston Camerata Christmas"...Five stars!

Again, I beseech thee, no, pray thee, listen to the tunes, you'll be sold (promise)!
