专辑介绍:
映著白色蠋光的圣诞晚餐,绽蓝的星光隐隐地闪在夜色里,安祥宁静的归乡气氛中,白雪靄靄罩著绿色的针樅树顶,圣诞鐘声从教堂里诗班颂歌声中传出,车水马龙的街上忽然冷清了下来,偶尔急驶而过的车人,也行色匆匆,赶著团聚的晚餐;天空飘著淡淡的白雪,往常总是座无虚席的咖啡座,现在只剩下流浪的野猫穿梭著,天空偶尔飘著薄薄的雪花,落到家家户户昏黄的灯光透过的窗户暖意上,瞬间就化作一丝水气,消融在空气中;家中的壁炉上冒著火舌,圣诞的礼物就摆在绿色的圣诞树下,装点得金光闪闪的檞寄生,倒映著幸福人儿的嬉笑……。
圣诞节在西方是团聚和感恩的时刻,也是每年最长的假期,这是个宗教和家庭上最重要的节日,因此即使在被近代商业主义入侵的中世纪,圣诞节就是被歌颂和礼拜的时刻。「圣诞名曲百分百」依照不同的演唱团体分成了六张CD,收录了我们最熟悉的圣诞歌曲,让您在冷冽的寒冬中,能在心灵深处填满最舒适的圣诞气息,保证是今年最值得收藏的圣诞专辑!
