A Classical Christmas Journey

Deb Podbury’s piano programme recasts familiar Christmas carols as witty pastiches in the styles of Liszt, Bach, Debussy, Chopin and other masters—seasonal listening that pairs beauty with clever stylistic play.

A Classical Christmas Journey sets well-known carols in a completely new light. We Three Kings appears in the manner of Liszt; The Angel Gabriel after Offenbach; O Holy Night after Schubert; O Little Town of Bethlehem after J.S. Bach; Hark the Herald Angels Sing after Haydn; Away in a Manger after Beethoven; Silent Night after Debussy; Angels We Have Heard on High and The First Nowell after Clementi; O Come All Ye Faithful after Mozart; O Christmas Tree after Chopin; God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen after Handel; and Good King Wenceslas after Pachelbel.

Heard this way, the carols lift Christmas listening clear of the usual jingles and offer a fresh seasonal programme of pure piano.

piano

Accomplished Australian pianist Deb Podbury shares with us an unusually delightful mix of styles on the piano! Since returning from recitals in Europe and London in 2005 Deb has concentrated on this album, the idea having been in her heart for many years. She has recorded another classical CD, Revari, and in January 2005 instigated a 24-hour music recital in the town of Barwon Heads to raise money for victims of the tsunami. She also wrote and recorded a single "Love Endures" for that cause
