The 8th Christmas Collection
As on all of the BoBW comps there's a Belgian track too: this time it's a protest song about weapons being silent on Christmas day: "Kerstmis is dien dag dat ze niet schieten".
The Dutch track is a very energetic song by Hollands biggest star (Ik had nooit gedacht dat ik het zou zeggen, maar "Kerstmis" is een schitterende berenplaat. Muzikaal dan. En op productioneel vlak. Zolang Borsato maar niet overgeacteerd kleffe teksten gaat kwelen, die het metrum niet volgen en te veel lettergepen hebben ...)
"Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes" is also to be found on the cd "Christmas" by Bruce Cockburn, the best traditional Xmas album ever.
And this week there's an extra track (for after Christmas): do listen to the gorgeous track "Soon After Christmas" by Stina Nordenstam. Do close your eyes and let this sweet and melancholic song conquer you.
Enjoy the music, and have some wonderful Christmas days....

Thanks for making this blog a must-visit year after year.
And the Stina Nordenstam track is a must, depressing as it is.
Thanks, this is a great upload
Thanks for sharing. Sorry I came late to the party.
