This, the first in the cycle, features one of the worlds greatest and best-loved classical vocalists, Jose Carreras, performing at Milans Basilica di S. Ambrogio Church, accompanied by the DellEmilia Romagna Symphonic Orchestra. Carreras performs a selection of songs of the Christmas season, as well as spiritual music from such composers as Handel, Bach, and Schubert. Concerto Di Natale was photographed by Carlo Di Palma, whose credits include The Red Desert, Blow Up, and Hannah and Her Sisters. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
