Sarah Walker celebrates Christmas Eve from her home with a hamper full of musical treats from around the world.
This evening, Sarah glimpses through the lighted windows of houses and apartments in France, Ukraine, Italy, Norway and beyond to discover the many ways Christmas Eve is marked. She's curious about traditions like meat-free midnight feasts, festive breads, Christmas saunas and cooking carp. Guests join Sarah to tell us how they like to spend this magical evening, and Sarah shares favourite carols from some of their countries.
There's also a feast of seasonal music to enjoy, including the merry finale from Bach's Christmas Oratorio, a carol from 1964 that's rapidly becoming a classic, and a jazzy interpretation of Mykola Leontovych's Carol of the Bells.
A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3
