Publisher's Synopsis
A Classical-Style Christmas combines memorable Christmas carols with excerpts from some of Mozart's most wonderful works. The arrangements are not all written in Classical-period styling; you will hear some Romantic and Contemporary sounds as well. However, all of the selections are inspired directly by individual Mozart pieces.
