Christmas in ancient Tallinn

With this CD we would like to offer you kindly a Christmas gift with pastoral music by
Italian baroque composers played by contemporary Estonian musicians.

Dear listener! Let us all think ourselves back to baroque times,
to a musical salon somewhere in our beloved hometown Tallinn …
in Kadriorg Palace or maybe on Toompea, in House of Knighthood – Christmas music and candle light
shining through the windows over peaceful snowy Old Town ...

With best Christmas greetings, Mail Sildos, AD 2007

Wonderful Christmas pastorals ... the shepherds in the fields could nearly be seen ...
Torelli, Manfredini, Scarlatti. From Archangelo Corelli, after whom we were named, instead of the famous Christmas concerto some of his sunny triosonatas were chosen, recently played with great joy
on concerts in beautiful historical halls of St. Mary’s Land (Estonia).
