Gareth Malone returns to share some of his favourite Christmas music.
Take a break from the Christmas preparations, pour yourself something delicious, and join Gareth Malone for two hours of relaxing Christmas classical music to warm the heart and lift the spirits on a cold, dark night, in the second of two special programmes for Christmas.
Gareth's guest in today's programme is vocalist, former Swingle and composer Joanna Forbes L'Estrange, who will be talking about her love of the Festive season, her experience in performing a wide range of musical styles, and her new recording of seasonal choral music - "Winter Light".
To listen using most smart speakers, just say 鈥淎sk 大象传媒 Sounds to play "Christmas with Malone"
