The 45 track album includes seven exclusive recordings by members of the cast. Elizabeth McGovern (who plays the Countess of Grantham) sings 'It Came Upon A Midnight Clear' and performs a duet of 'The First Noel' with fellow co-star Julian Ovenden (who plays Charles Blake).
Julian Ovenden, also a professional singer and musical performer in his own right delivers a solo rendition of 'O Holy Night' and 'Sussex Carol' and 'Silent Night'. He also performs the 'Twelve Days of Christmas' as a duet with up-an-coming classical singer Katie Marshall.
Mr Carson (played by Jim Carter) delivers a spoken word piece. His rendition of the Christmas poem T’was The Night Before Christmas is captivating and evocative.
For an extra Downton touch composer John Lunn, who wrote the Downton Abbey Theme Song, has penned a new & exclusive extended seasonal suite version of the Downton Abbey theme music and Part 1 & Part 2 open each disc. This has been exclusively recorded by The Budapest City Orchestra and The Budapest Choral Voices.
The rest of the album is made up 36 classic Christmas carols from Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, the Choir Of Kings College, Cambridge, Alexander Lazarev and many more.
