More Information:

Something different for Christmas—a grand and touching oratorio about the Nativity—written and conducted by one of our most powerful living composers. The work touches on both ancient and modern faith, and draws on a variety of sources, from Haggai and Isaiah to the Mexican poet and novelist Rosario Castellanos. “A very palpable hit,” says the BBC. “An intelligent, emotional and sometimes magical re-telling of the old, old story.”
