Advent Calendar 2006


		PROBABLY THE BEST ONLINE CALENDAR ON THE WEB Probably the best musical online Calendar on the web, this year's German Embassy Advent Calendar is packed with ultra-modern arrangements of traditional German Christmas Carols. We are delighted to present a musical Xmas feast with a whole range of different musical styles and interpretations, performed by professional musicians. Please note that loading the flash movie files in your browser may take up to 2 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. However, the short wait is well worth it!
