Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arranged and conducted by Peter Schickele (better known as P.D.Q. Bach), 'No毛l' moves Joan Baez away from standard acoustic folk into a highly orchestrated, classical setting. Featuring a repertoire of traditional French, English, and German carols, the album highlights her pure soprano voice against subtle chamber instrumentation. It remains a critically respected and uniquely solemn entry into the holiday music canon.
