Various: Winter Tales LP

In late 2020, Deutsche Grammophon invited some of the label’s composers to reimagine holiday music. The result was 12 personal responses to that creative challenge, all of which have something fresh and timely to say about winter’s promise of renewal and light’s power over darkness. Featuring Roger & Brian Eno, Peter Gregson, Víkingur Ólafsson, Hania Rani & Dobrawa Czocher, Balmorhea, Mari Samuelsen, Ane Brun, Dustin O’Halloran & Bryan Senti, ABBOTT, Vanbur, Classical Sundays and Joep Beving.
