Jonas Kaufmann – It's Christmas
Йонас Кауфман: Рождество
A lot of memories come back to me. Christmas is the festival of pausing, of remembering.
It is the festival of joy and lights. And these songs bring back to me happy memories of the joys of the Christmas season, from grateful devotions to tumultuous celebrations with friends and relatives. –
