My favorite Christmas song: Adeste Fideles (video)

Posted by keeptalkinggreece in Music

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. “Adeste Fideles - laeti triumphantes”- (O Come all ye faithful).  I believe the best version is by Luciano Pavarotti. But  the most powerful version is in film “Joyeux Noel” (2005),  a Christmas film set during WW1. Scottish, French and German soldiers fraternise on Christmas Eve (based on a true story).
The singing of fictional German tenor Nikolaus Sprink (Benno Fürmann) was done by Rolando Villazón.
