RECORDING INFORMATION
Decca’s recorded legacy is dominated by a huge number of complete opera recordings and vocal recitals. In addition, some of Decca’s star singers have recorded Christmas albums in the past. The recently released first 6 titles in the CLASSIC RECITALS series have already generated interest and more will follow later in 2004. With the Christmas season in mind Decca presents 3 classic Christmas recitals with three operatic stars: Leontyne Price, Joan Sutherland and Renata Tebaldi. Once again the original LP covers are used as part of the stylish digi-pack presentation and will take listeners on a trip down memory lane …

Original LP cover art is reproduced and the original back of the LP is used as the inside of the digipack. A clear tray is used with a detail from the original LP sleeve as a background, and the back of the digipack gives the tracklist and artist details in a uniform, current style.

“The programme presented here seemed so appropriate, and its message so perfectly expressed in the opening carol of rejoicing, that we purposely repeated Adeste fideles as a finale as well. It is Miss Tebaldi’s wish, and ours, that this recording will be a source of joy to all members of all families at the Christmas Festival.”
