Christmas in Vienna II is a 1994 album released by American soul singer Dionne Warwick and Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo for the Sony Classical label. This album was taken from Domingo's second televised Christmas in Vienna concert from 1993.
In the US this album is known as Celebration in Vienna. The first volume in this collection of seasonal works featured Plácido Domingo and José Carreras with Diana Ross. That album topped the U.S. Classical charts, as well as, hit the top of the European and Pan Asian charts. Pavarotti and Friends series was the inspiration for this series. Although the other five volumes did well internationally, Christmas in Vienna with Diana Ross, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras remains the crowning achievement.
The album was recorded live on December 21, 1993, at Hofburg Palace, Vienna with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Mozart Sängerknaben (Mozart Boys' Choir)[1] under the direction of maestro Vjekoslav Šutej.[2]
