This copy remains factory sealed in the original custom stickered shrink & is therefore still mint & unplayed) Tracklisting & Info: The album features all the tracks from the original album, now digitally remastered, as well as one previously unreleased track, 'Dido's Lament'. “I'm absolutely delighted to be releasing the 10th Anniversary of A Christmas Cornucopia. 2020 has been an unprecedented year around the world… The carols on this album represent continuum – harking back to a time before modern technology, climate emergency, global pandemics, pollution, forest destruction, species extinction and all the challenges our world must urgently deal with in terms of crisis in sustainability. I hope this recording will at least offer some comfort and nostalgia, but also an awareness that political leaders, religious leaders and everyone around the world must face up to the question of how many more Christmases we have left to spend on this blighted earth.” Annie Lennox 'Dido's Lament', written by Henry Purcell in the 17th century and arranged by Annie Lennox and Mike Stevens, references the tragic love story of Dido and Aeneas as documented in Virgil's legendary epic poem, The Aeneid. It will be released as the lead single from the album. Tracklisting: 01. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 02. The First Noel 03. Il Est Ne Le Divin Enfant 04. See Amid the Winter's Snow 05.
