Andrea Bocelli: My Christmas
DECCA, £8.95
Andrea Bocelli is a remarkable man: who else could bring together the talents of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Muppets on a single album? The choristers and puppets feature (on different tracks, sadly) on the Italian tenor’s first Christmas album. The songs are mainly in English, but there is a scattering of Italian, German, French and Latin classics. The 51-year-old has long dreamed of recording a festive album and hopes it will “give back the same joy” that he has always felt singing carols with his family.
