Andrea Bocelli'
s 2009
My Christmas
album finds the Italian tenor performing various classic holiday-themed songs that touch on classical, opera, and pop. Included are such well-known holiday songs as
"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,"
"O Tannenbaum,"
and
"Silent Night."
The versatile
Bocelli
also delves into such iconic Christmas hits as
"Blue Christmas"
"The Christmas Song"
(featuring a duet with
Natalie Cole
). Of course, the opera and classic songs are
Bocelli'
s bread and butter, and here listeners get such lavishly produced cuts as
"Adeste Fidelis,"
"Cantique del Noel,"
"Caro Gesu Bambino."
is not only a warm and inviting holiday album, but also a superb classical crossover entry worthy of
s discography. ~ Matt Collar
