Various Artists: Winter Tales (Various Artists)

In late 2020, Deutsche Grammophon invited some of the label's composers to reimagine holiday music.

Featuring Roger & Brian Eno, Peter Gregson, V¡kingur Olafsson, Hania Rani & Dobrawa Czocher, Balmorhea, Mari Samuelsen, Ane Brun, Dustin O'Halloran & Bryan Senti, ABBOTT, Vanbur, Classical Sundays and Joep Beving.
