Day 05 - Favorite Christmas Album

My favorite album for Christmas is by Chanticleer: Sing We Christmas, recorded in 1995. It includes some of my favorites, like Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, O magnum mysterium, and In the Bleak Midwinter.

It does not, however, include my favorite Christmas song, Ave Maria, by Franz Biebl. It was recorded once, by Chanticleer, and is arguably one of their most popular numbers. They have just (!) re-released it, in a live recording, from their A Chanticleer Christmas album--which just made it to my wish list on Amazon today.
