The debut Lava/Atlantic release from NYC-based Trans-Siberian Orchestra joins top talents from the hard rock world with those from the Broadway musical and classical arenas - combining a 60-piece orchestra and full chorus with the edge of a rock band. The conceptual symphonic rock work is by hard rock producer/songwriter Paul O'Neill, and the recording reinvents O'Neill's previously recorded Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24), which was released last year as a highlight of the conceptual Dead Winter Dead album by Savatage.
