If you're searching for actual, acceptable Christmas music, you couldn't do bigger than this rich, alluring anthology of carols done by the New York Latvian Concert Choir, which is conducted by 74-year-old Andrejs Jansons. Mixing avant-garde and ancient, Christian and pagan, articulate in a clean, audibly Baltic articulate style, this music effectively evokes the abundantly textured, American immigrant experience. "On Christmas Eve" recalls old-time Broadway musicals, while "My Lovely Flax Field," connects to a distant, added alien past. And if you anticipate Christmas music has absent its faculty of religious meaning, "The Word Was Made Flesh" is all you'll charge to displace your airy clock.
