European Christmas Music CD

While making the "Rick Steves' European Christmas" special for PBS, Rick and his crew filmed traditional celebrations in seven countries. Of the many concerts they recorded, this collection contains the finest carols — our top 20. Performed in venues ranging from a simple stone-vault church in Oslo, to a magnificent Wren church in London, to a Cistercian abbey in Burgundy — this music celebrates Christmas, and Europe's cultural diversity. It's the perfect soundtrack for your own holiday festivities this year!
