"Recording of the week: No chestnuts of any variety on the menu here, just a beautifully-plotted programme of Lieder and mélodies ... Karg's silvery soprano soars magically above the full-throated Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, and both she and Huber are as responsive as ever to texts and harmonic light and shade. This has to be my favourite classical Christmas album in some years".

"Kein Weihnachts-Album mit Event-charakter! Christiane Karg hat Kunstlieder mit dem Thema Weihnachten zusammengetragen, von Cornelius und Strauss, Gounod und Humperdinck, Toldrà bis Chaminade - eine beeindruckend weite wie stimmige Auslese. Die Sängerin überzeugt durch klare Stimmgebung und mannigfache Farben, sie harmoniert mit Gerold Huber am Klavier prächtig, beide bilden eine klangliche Einheit, frei vom Verdacht klebriger Süsse - ebenso beim fünffach hinzutretenden BR-Chor".

"I'm a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to opera singers doing Christmas albums, but Christiane Karg's new disc has quite melted my frosty heart. There are no cheesy sleigh rides or jingle bells here but rather a recital programme of songs - genuine lieder and mélodies - on texts conveying the true meaning of Christmas ... Karg's angelic soprano - light and buttery - is perfect for this charming repertoire and she does it full justice in winning performances ... She covers a lot of languages and 17 different composers but somehow seems entirely at home in all of them".
