Sting: If on a Winter's Night

Sting: If on a Winter's Night

On October 26 Sting released a new album dedicated to his favorite season—winter—a season which has inspired countless songwriters over the centuries and produced a wealth of music exploring all of its many guises. “If on a Winter’s Night…Live from Durham Cathedral” presents an arc of songs that conjures the season of spirits, resulting in a haunting, spiritual and reflective musical journey.

It was suggested that Sting do a Christmas CD but Sting says he wanted to do something wider than that hence a winter record. The CD includes folk songs, lullabies and spiritual songs that include what Sting says is an ambivalent quality about winter and Christmas. Sting says he is a winter person because it is a season of imagination and magic, mystery and storytelling, dark, cold but with the warmth of family and friends. His Web site [www.sting.com] has a wonderful five-minute video with Sting narrating about winter and about “If on a Winter’s Night” with snippets of some of the new sounds playing in the background.
