Some info from the press-release: "It was in the Victorian era that most of our
modern-day Christmas traditions were first established, partly through the
influence of Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens. This album takes the listener
through a late-Victorian Christmas, beginning with the advent calendar, and
progressing through to New Year’s Day. This is a middle-class Christmas – the
family can afford the latest Christmas accoutrements and expensive
presents – but below them in the social hierarchy is a world of grinding
poverty, in which Christmas could hardly be celebrated at all. Nevertheless,
like all Christmases this one ends on an optimistic note – the Christmas
message is indeed a universal one". There'll be 10 compositions with a total length of 64 minutes. From the musical standpoint, that should apply to those who enamoured the previous LGL records.  |
