Description


Inspired by Sting's favorite season, If On A Winter's Night, takes traditional music from the British Isles as its starting point and evolves into a compelling and personal journey with music spanning over five centuries (including two of Sting's own songs).  An evocative collection of lullabies, carols and songs, Sting's new album celebrates the many facets of winter - before the snows melt and the cycle of the seasons begin once more.  This limited deluxe edition includes a bonus track and a dvd that tells the fascinating story of how the album came together.


Sting’s latest album, If On a Winter’s Night… released on Deutsch Grammophon, debuted at #6 on Billboard’s Top 200 and #1 on both the Classical and Seasonal charts.



Composer, singer, actor, activist – Sting has won universal acclaim in all these roles, but he defies easy labeling.  He’s best described as an adventurer, a risk-taker.  As he himself said, “I love to put myself in new situations. I’m not afraid to be a beginner.”  Husband and father of six, masterful guitarist and bassist, and also a devoted Yoga practitioner, he’s made a career, in fact, of new beginnings.
