À travers les siècles et de nos jours encore Noël a été un thème d?inspiration privilégié pour les compositeurs. A Classical Christmas (?Noël classique?) rassemble des œuvres de trois grands compositeurs français du XIXe siècle.Le premier mouvement nous fait découvrir César Franck (1822-1890) grand organiste et brillant compositeur qui a donné une réelle valeur artistique à certains chants de Noël français traditionnels. Ce mouvement apaisé au charme captivant offre de nombreuses possibilités en termes de nuances et d?expression. La percussion intervient mais ne tient qu?un rôle modeste.Le thème de l?oratorio L?Enfance du Christ d?Hector Berlioz(1803-1869) est au centre du deuxième mouvement. Le thème est conçu comme une ode à la sainte Famille. Ce deuxième mouvement expressif et tendre possède un caractère intimiste.Le thème du troisième et dernier mouvement est extrait de l?Oratorio de Noël de Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921). Il s?agit d?une page bien connue le célèbre chœur final Tollite Hostias. La puissance et l?intensité donnent à ce finale le ton festif qui caractérise Noël.
