5 out of 5 stars A Timeless Tradition.......2005-12-15

I have been listening to this choir since 1982. I wore out the original tape, in the days before CD's. I have been to the actual performance, a week before Christmas three times and am going back this year 2005.

The performance is so delicate, yet so powerful that it is emotional and moving, regardless of your orientation. Imagine this performance, in the manificent HH Richardson-designed Trinity Church, Copley Square, Boston. People wait for hours to get in. The lights go out, the Choir, brass timpani and organ just work so well together. One by one, candles are lit, and the huge church comes alive. The choir processes down the asiles singing in strength and everyone joins in.

It is a spiritual experience even if you are not religious. The strength of the performance invites you to participate. I find myself singing louder than I do anywhere else.

After my first child was born, I held her in my arms, and "Candlelight Carol" became my anthem:
How do you capture
The wind on the water?
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
How can you measure
The love of a mother
Or how can you write down
A baby's first cry?

I am not a musician and to my ear, the Chorus is professional. The tunes are classic, but they bring a new life to familiar tunes.

If you've been feeling stressed out, this is the perfect time to calm the nerves, focus on meaning and purpose, and let you enjoy yourself for a few minutes.

If you can't attend, do the next best thing, get the CD, turn it up till you hear the bass of the organ rumble your rafters and sing your heart out.

Enjoy!

3 out of 5 stars A nice blend of music for Christmas.......2003-12-30

This is one of my favorite discs at Christmas time. It is at once peaceful and calm, yet joyous and expectant. There are the usual brass and organ carols, but also stunning arrangements and performances of lesser-known things. Prime among these are the setting of "Away in a Manger" that makes me want to pull off the highway and listen just to that song without distractions, and the pulsing, exciting "What Strangers are These", which I have never heard anywhere else. Chorally, the disc is a little unsatisfying because of balance issues with the rest of the disc--some songs are loud, others very soft, so it makes it hard to listen to without having to adjust the volume periodically. However, I still wouldn't trade it for all the Messiahs in the world!

This is really a wonderful CD for the holidays. You won't go wrong with this.

5 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyed.......2006-09-08

I wasn't sure how I would like this album as I usually don't enjoy solo piano, but these beautiful arrangements are well worth listening to.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful music.......2002-11-26

My husband and I like this CD so much,we play it to go to sleep by year round, not just at Christmas.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful arrangements of pop and traditional carols.......1999-12-07

I was shopping last week and I heard this lovely piano christmas music filling the store. It was like shopping and Nordstrom where they have a live pianist near the atrium. I found out it was this CD by Danny Wright. If you are looking for something for background music for a quiet dinner or gathering - this is an excellent choice. I particularly like the medley of Count Your Blessings / White Christmas from the Irving Berlin movie.

4 out of 5 stars Third Time Is A Charm.......2003-12-11

This is the third disc in the Christmas series REJOICE: A STRING QUARTET CHRISTMAS and it basically follows the same formula. Christmas carols are arranged for a string quartet. Listeners may wonder if a third collection is too much of a good thing. While this collection is similar to the first two string quartet collections, it is also significantly different. On this disc listeners enjoy some carols some carols, but it also has some strictly classical tracks. People who love classical music and enjoyed the first collection will certainly enjoy this disc as well as well.

5 out of 5 stars Bravo!!.......2002-09-04

The third CD of the Rejoice series continues this profound exploration of the unfamiliar songs of Christmas. Sound and performance rate 5 Stars with me. What I like most about this series is being able to listen to them at any time during the year. They do not get put away with the ornaments and lights. They stay out in the rotation. I'm waiting for the next installment in this line of superb music,artistry and sound.

4 out of 5 stars Worth it for the last track alone..........2001-12-03

If you have ever been fortunate enough to attend the annual Candlelight Carol Festival at New York's Riverside Church, then you're no doubt familiar with the hauntingly beautiful piece that closes the service each year "Sleep of the Infant Jesus" by Henri Busser. It's performed in arrangement for viola, harp, and organ and it is truly inspired.

In searching for a recording of this piece, I came across this CD here on Amazon and purchased it. Little did I know that not only was I getting the music I wanted, but it is in fact a recording of the very same arrangement, by the same musicians -- and it was recorded at Riverside Church! This track alone (the last on the disc) is worth the price of the CD. But you'll also be treated to several other gems. This is a fine quartet and their performances are uniformly excellent.

There are some familiar -- and some not so familiar -- carols here, but it doesn't have to be "Jingle Bells" to evoke a holiday spirit. One curious piece entitled "March of the Three Kings" sounds to me like the beginning of Bizet's "L'Arlsienne Suite No. 1", but I'm not complaining.

If you're looking for something a little different to put on during holiday get-togethers, this CD is a great choice. And if you've been to the Carol Festival at Riverside Church, it's a no-brainer.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Christmas Recording.......2000-12-16

The third disc in the very enjoyable Rejoice series features beautiful seasonal works, some less known than others, but more than a few will be recognized by serious music lovers. The quartet's musicianship is exemplary, and the sonics, as one expects from this label, are wonderful. If you like musical, highly polished string playing, this fine disc has many treaures and new discoveries awaiting your pleasure. Highly recommended - perhaps the perfect gift for the classical music lover who has everything.

3 out of 5 stars pretty music, not particularly festive.......1998-11-18

This is beautifully done, but many songs are not familiar. This does not sound especially Christmasy.
