: :This program seems designed primarily to display soprano Sumi Jo's fabulous singing and famous stylistic eclecticism. However, it also exhibits an admirable religious inclusiveness, encompassing expressions of faith from the Latin liturgy to Negro spirituals; there is even a Richard Strauss song that is essentially a paean to love. An incongruous note is struck by a nun's song from an operetta by Benatzky that is a corny Viennese waltz and by a soundtracklike arrangement of a 16th-century Ave Maria. Ranging from Mozart to Broadway, this musical mix is held together by Sumi Jo's ravishingly beautiful, pure, warm voice and the way she can ...

Christmas in Old Austria
(more) »rank: 18971from: Arte Nova Classics
:Album Description:The feast of Christmas in Old Austria was more colorful, more vivid, and for the most part more pious than it is today. Christmas matins in church marked the start of the festival. In Viennese churches, it was even usual to celebrate the birth of Christ with puppet plays. The main themes of the Advent and Christmas seasons–redemption through the Christ child, the beauty and humility of the Holy Mother, the joy and jubilation of angels and shepherds–were all presented in ever-new variants. These themes are so profound, so universally human, their representation in words and music so spontaneous and heartfelt, that ...
