Jakub Jan Ryba: Czech Christmas Mass.

It has even escaped the evil clutches of Supraphon, and found its way onto DGG Archiv!

Here it is, with Josef Lada's pictures, animated. Great fun!

I'm a fan of Frank Sinatra in general. I mostly listen to him. Something like: Mistletoe And Holly, Strangers in the night, Jingle Bells, Let It Snow, White Christmas well and much more

Ryba Christmas Mass

Thank you to CnC Bartok. This is an outstanding performance of Ryba's Christmas Mass...

Of course, picking a favored recording is somewhat like being asked to pick you favorite child. There is no "best" when they are special to you.

I suspect the Austro-Germans and the English have inappropriately dominated Christmas music, just like they try to dominate everything else and there is a lot of outstanding Eastern European Christmas Music out there. I could be wrong.

If this piece doesn't say "Merry Christmas", what does?
