史汀 --- 冬夜傳說
☆好友相聚，在冬天夜裏，聽Sting吟唱…
★亙古傳頌，跨越時空，讓Sting頌歌不斷…

繼2006年《迷宮之歌》專輯廣受肯定之後，史汀這張《冬夜傳說》專輯所要呈現的，是以一連串歌曲來表現季節的精神，例如：下雪時黯然的寂靜、孤獨的日子，以及重生、節慶等種種屬於冬天的故事與傳說。從英倫三島的傳統音樂出發，史汀與多位客席音樂家邀請愛樂者透過這些跨越世紀的歌曲、頌歌、搖籃曲，例如：紐卡斯爾民歌《雪融化最快》、 傳統的英式「乞討」歌曲《Soalin》；十四世紀頌歌《加布里耶利的訊息》，還有《給一個焦慮孩子的搖籃曲》、《冬天的獵犬》這兩首史汀的個人創作，以及旋律取材舒伯特聯篇歌曲集《冬之旅》最後一曲〈老樂師〉，由史汀譯為英語歌詞的《演奏手搖弦琴的人》，傳達出冬天的各種情懷。

參與這張專輯的夥伴包括與史汀共事多年的朋友─吉他演奏家多明尼克米勒、來自英格蘭北部和蘇格蘭的凱瑟琳‧提克爾（小提琴和諾森伯蘭管）、朱利安薩頓（melodian）、瑪莉麥克瑪斯特（蘇格蘭豎琴），以及塞加爾（大提琴）、霍普（小提琴）、克里斯波提（小號）、伊布拉印馬勞夫（小號）、聲樂團體《古風》與《韋布姐妹》，共同創作出一張溫馨、獨一無二的音樂專輯。這是一張在冬天沉思的聲音，聽史汀歌唱、吟詩的專輯。

If on a Winter's Night presents an arc of songs that conjure the season of spirits, the eerie silences of the snow; days of solitude and reflection for some, a time of re-birth and celebration for many. With traditional music of the British Isles as their starting point, Sting and his guest musicians draw the listener in through a collection of songs, carols, and lullabies spanning the centuries - such as
The Snow it Melts the Soonest (traditional Newcastle ballad),
Soul Cake (traditional English "begging" song)
Gabriel's Message (14th century carol), as well as two of Sting's own compositions - Lullaby for an Anxious Child and The Hounds of Winter. Also featured on the album is Hurdy Gurdy Man - a musical reworking and English translation (by Sting) of Der Leiermann from Schubert's classic winter song-cycle Winterreise.

For this exploration of the themes and emotions of winter Sting is joined by friend and long time colleague, guitarist Dominic Miller - and an ensemble of three remarkable musicians from Northern England and Scotland: Kathryn Tickell (fiddle and Northumbrian pipes) Julian Sutton (melodian) and Mary MacMaster (metal string Scottish harp). Additional guest artists include

Vincent Ségal (cello), Daniel Hope (violin),
Chris Botti (trumpet),
Ibrahim Maalouf (trumpet),
Stile Antico (vocal ensemble),
Cyro Baptista (percussion),
Bijan Chemirani (percussion)
and the Webb Sisters (vocals).

Together they've created an album with a wonderful, warm, and unique ensemble sound - an acoustic meditation on winter.
