Background: This is a disc of Finnish Christmas classics in lavish orchestral arrangements performed by the Lahti Symphony Orchestra. Just as the joyous season knows no boundaries, many of the favourite songs associated with the Finnish Christmas - or 'Joulu' - are international, and in the programme, hidden behind exotic-sounding titles, are Jingle bells as well as Rejoice, O Daughter of Zion from Handel’s Messiah. But there are also local products on offer - the most well-known probably being Jean Sibelius’s Christmas song Giv mig ej glans, which here is performed by Jukka Perko, the internationally known saxophonist who appears as soloist in four tracks on the disc.
