Christmas in Vienna (album)


Christmas in Vienna is a 1993 album released by American soul singer Diana Ross, and Spanish tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras for the Sony Classical label. The concert that formed the basis of this album was Domingo's first in his series of televised Christmas in Vienna concerts.
The album was recorded on December 23, 1992 at the Rathaus in Vienna with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Gumpoldskirch Boys Choir as ensemble.
It charted in both the US and UK and was very successful on the Billboard Classical albums chart, reaching #2 and remaining on the chart for 31 weeks. The album sold over 1 million copies and was an example how pop singers and classical singers can sing together.
The video recording of the event aired on PBS stations as part of Great Performances the following Christmas season in the USA.
