Episode #36 of the "DCD Classical 'Cast" is Part 2 of our holiday special, we again sample selections from the Seattle Pro Musica's album "Weihnachten: A German Christmas." We also play selections from Michael Stairs' Christmas recital at the Longwood Gardens organ in Philadelphia, and we break format a little bit as we did last year -- with some seasonal tunes performed a capella by the Inner Voices.

We'll be taking a break and resume podcasting in January.
