Harpsichordist Elizabeth Anderson will show you why ... ... on 'Merry Christmas'
Elizabeth Anderson and friends put a new twist into Christmas carols and CDs, with this release from Move Records — a CD/Christmas card.
'Merry Christmas' contains a collection of fun and traditional Christmas pieces, including tongue-in- cheek arrangements of 'Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer' and 'Santa Claus is coming to town' and exquisite performances of 'In dulci jubilo', 'Good King Wenceslas', 'I saw three ships' and 'We wish you a merry Christmas'.
Elizabeth Anderson (harpsichord) is joined by drums, glockenspiel, double bass and four singers from the acclaimed Choir of Ormond College.
With a vibrant cover, room for a personal inscription, and exhilarating music, it will make a great gift at not much more than the cost of a normal card. ($5AUD)
