You must know what this feels like. Although you have sworn to yourself not to get any Advent or Christmas CDs this year, you end up checking the CD racks after all: Not, not a boychoir again…and not too folk either…I’ve got Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in three versions already…and if the sales assistant says to you: “We’ve got something really different here!” you don’t believe a word of it and turn away, frustrated. It’s a good thing there’s GENUIN: Have you ever heard of Christ Nativity Concerto by Bernhard Krol? Or enjoyed the strains of Yvon Bourrel’s Variations on an Old Christmas Tune? No? You really should give it a listen: Karl-Heinz Halder and Moritz Kohn play trumpet with a ringingly clean, full tone, Michael Eckerle is a sorcerer on the organ and Aleksandra Lustig sings angelically from the gallery. Ensemble Concertino a tre has recorded a true treasure chest of new and never-before-heard pieces for this GENUINCD. In dulci jubilo.
