About

Camille Saint-Saëns’ Oratorio de Noël is an important and enriching part of the repertoire. This ten-movement work is performed by an unusual ensemble: The vocal part, with string quintet and organ accompaniment is augmented by the special sonorous effect of a harp, which lends a special atmosphere to the piece. This atmosphere - evoked through gentle harmonies, straightforward choral settings and the almost chamber music-like use of the orchestra – is interrupted by only a few dramatic passages. The resulting tensions give the work an engaging charm.
