Enrico Caruso, "Cantique de Noel" ("O Holy Night")


The legendary tenor sings my second most loved carol (for my favorite, see here). The quality of this 1916 recording amazes me.

Warmest wishes of the season to all. Thanks to tomfroekjaer for the clip.

    Thanks, Stephanie. That's a great song. The descant is spine-chilling.
