Barbara Hendricks, the renowned soprano known for her operatic prowess, offers a delightful and diverse collection of holiday and Disney classics in her album "Christmas Songs & Disney Songs." Released on August 9, 2010, under Parlophone (France), this album seamlessly blends the rich traditions of Christmas carols with the enchanting melodies of Disney's timeless songs.
Spanning a generous duration of 2 hours and 4 minutes, the album is a testament to Hendricks' versatility and artistry. She begins with a serene rendition of the classic "Silent Night" by Gruber, followed by a medley of traditional carols from around the world, each arranged beautifully by Ekdahl. Her voice shines in both the operatic and classical genres, as evidenced by her powerful performance of Mason's "Joy to the World" and the tender "Mariä Wiegenlied" by Reger.
The second half of the album is dedicated to beloved Disney songs, showcasing Hendricks' ability to infuse each piece with warmth and charm. From the whimsical "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" to the poignant "Beauty and the Beast," she brings a fresh perspective to these iconic tunes. The album concludes with a lively rendition of "Whistle While You Work," leaving the audience with a sense of joy and nostalgia.
