The programming team at XLNC1 has assembled this season’s must-have CDs.

	The Christmas Spirit This two-disc CD features the world’s best hymns and carols performed by some of the most beloved artists, including Luciano Pavarotti, Dame Joan Sutherland, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Leontyne Price, and Renata Tebaldi.
	Pavarotti Forever Over the course of his brilliant career, Luciano Pavarotti had become one of the most popular artists in the history of music and his voice touched us all. This 2-disc set features the career-spanning selections from one of the world’s most beloved tenors.
	Schumann: Fantasie, Kreisleriana, Arabeske / Jonathan Biss This is a beautiful CD, filled with fine, unaffected playing that gets to the heart of the music. Biss's graceful reading flows naturally, and the stream of music he produces is always expressive and never showy for its own sake.
	Bach: 6 Suites For Solo Cello / Pierre Fournier Elegance is the quality in Pierre Fournier's playing that makes the first and, ultimately, the most lasting impression. He finds great depth in the suites, understands the underlying emotion.
	Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake / Valery Gergiev, St. Petersburg Mariinsky Theater Orchestra Valery Gergiev conducts the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre in this definitive recording of Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky's ballet classic. This is the 2-CD recording of the complete score.
	Let It Snow / Chanticleer Fans of Chanticleer will undoubtedly want their latest holiday recording released for the 2007 season. Let it Snow swings a whole lot more than their previous releases as they are backed by a jazz band with elaborate orchestrations. The variety of styles along with the signature "orchestra of voices" sound are just we've come to expect from this remarkably talented group.
