If on a Winter's Night...

If on a Winter's Night... is the ninth studio album from British musician Sting.

[10] The album is a collection of Christmas and winter-themed songs mostly written by others, including folk songs, madrigals and religious hymns from past centuries.

Dozens of musicians appear on the album in various configurations, including jazz, folk and classical players.

[citation needed] The album was released in several formats: vinyl LP, a single-disc CD, a limited edition CD and making-of DVD entitled The Genesis of 'If on a Winter's Night...' in Six Chapters in hardback book packaging, an Amazon exclusive version, as well as various import editions (of note is the Japanese edition).

The title of the album is based on the novel If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino.
