Christmas 2022

Damrau’s two-disc My Christmas ticks some of the same boxes as the legendary Elisabeth Schwarzkopf’s Christmas Album, though Damrau seems more naturally at home in the seasonal idiom...Opinions will vary over Damrau’s quite pronounced vibrato, but there’s no doubting the sincerity of her endearingly communicative singing.
4 out of 5 stars

2nd December 2022

The second disc (consisting mainly of Baroque sacred arias) is frankly worth the price of the album on its own, and likely to bring a great deal of pleasure all the year round – this repertoire is new territory for Damrau on disc, and it's a match made in heaven. And barring a touch too much glockenspiel and one or two slightly naff modulations, there’s much to enjoy about Richard Whilds’s full-fat orchestrations of the carol sequences.
