Lovely recording of the Tchaikovsky, which I may well have to spin later:

Or Leoncavallo.  In his Boheme, it's Acts 1 and 4 which are set on Christmas Eve.

So the Respighi wouldn't be The Adoration of the Magi?

Ah yes. I picked up a cheap Nuova Era recording of that this year - rather a good live performance - mainly because this one was/is unavailable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leoncavallo-Boh%C3%A8me-Ruggero/dp/B00005090L/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1198492682&sr=1-3

I have a couple of recordings (of Leoncavallo's Boheme).  I got so intrigued by it when ENO did it in 2000 that I went to every single performance in the run, recorded the broadcast, bought the score and a couple of CD versions, and can sing along with the entire show in English or Italian Roll Eyes Grin

(Not sure any of the recordings are quite complete.  Cuts seem customary - and never in the same places).

Sorry.  Back on topic.
