'Els Pastorets' Christmas concert

'Els Pastorets' is a traditional Christmas story in Catalonia, generally told in three parts: Joseph and Mary and the birth of the baby Jesus; the fight between angels and demons; a comical take on the 'pastors', or peasants. This year, with text by Jordi Galceran and music by Albert Guinovart, the show is on at the Gran Teatre del Liceu with this choir and orchestra version, featuring the Liceu's symphony orchestra and the Cor Vivaldi-Petits Cantors de Catalunya choir. Musical direction by Oscar Boada, the choir's director, and narration by Elisabeth Egea. Don't let the language get in your way, and enjoy this Catalan Christmas classic.
