[CD-cover] A Gala Christmas in Vienna

On Christmas Day 1997 there was a Christmas concert in Vienna's Rathaus featuring Plácido Domingo, Sarah Brightman, Helmut Lotti and Riccardo Cocciante, accompanied by the Wiener Symphoniker conducted by Steven Mercurio.
I saw this concert live on TV and thought it not bad, but not really very good: too difficult to understand the lyrics, which are overshadowed by the music, and the whole thing did not feel very convincing.

Here is the track list of the CD, showing which songs feature Sarah Brightman; for (links to) lyrics, see a separate page.
