There is probably no other time in Christian life when music plays a larger role than in the Adventand Christmas season. Brass music sounding from city hall balconies and church steeples is beloved not only at Christmas fairs. And not least of all, it is the sound of stringed and woodwind instruments which move people at this time.

On this recording are presented the numerous shadings of this diverse concert in the form of an angel’s concert as it appears on countless Christmas pictures. In cases in which the music draws upon Christmas carols, the themes are arranged in a chronological order corresponding to that of the Bible – in particular, as told in the Gospel according to St. Luke.
