Kitka Wintersongs
(Diaphonica)
This one's the best of the bunch of new and rereleased holiday music this year. Kitka, the renowned all female Balkan octet present here a vivid collection of both Christmas and pre-Christian solstice songs from the Macedonian, Bulgarian and other Eastern European traditions. Without exception, the songs are intense and moving in mysterious ways that most holiday music—especially those elevator-ready carols—simply isn't. All the spirituality, none of the cheese. And even better, Kitka will perform at Popejoy Hall on Dec. 17. Preview forthcoming. This album will make a fine gift for the world music lover on your list, and you might want an extra copy for yourself.  11/18/04 >> go there
