Pretty good CD.......2007-02-09

I have other CDs by artist, which are better, but this is nice for the Christmas season.

Background music for a bad restaurant.......2003-12-10

I enjoy the music of Ottmar Liebert, but this cd is dreadful. The disc opens with a rendition of "Deck the Halls" that's slow enough for a classful of six-year-old violin students to keep up with. The over-emphasized downbeat in "I Saw Three Ships" ruins that song as well.

The problem with Christmas music sometimes is that, since we've grown up hearing these tunes, we forget to appreciate how lovely some of the melodies really are. This disc does nothing to remind us. I can't imagine any less soulful or heartfelt versions of these songs. Skip this disc and get Joe Pass: Six-String Santa instead. Six-String Santa has got to be one of the best instrumental Christmas Collections of all time. Trust me.

Peaceful music.......2003-12-07

This is a solid xmas disc that is neither edgy nor particularly innovative but makes up for it with beautiful accoustic guitar. This is one of those xmas albums that flows thrugh you unobtrusively, perfect music for hanging the southwest chile lights to a cozy fire! It definitely has the southwest flair. The Latin rhythms abound and are highlighted by the percussion work. The traditional songs are very familiar and with few exceptions rarely go out of bounds to unrecognizable dimensions in sound. It seems some people have complained about this disc but being a long time OL fan I can say that I was not dissapointed but rather enjoy the peace and serenity this disc invokes. By comparison "Angels and Poets" is a tad bit more on the innovative scale where he allows himself more room to improvise. The music is very soothing and has a calming effect on your soul. One of the things I like about this disc is the jazzy Latin intonations such as those heard on his holiday buleria "Greensleeves." The most traditional of xmas songs like "Hark the Angels Sing, "Silent Night" and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" stay close to the original but OL expands and improvises just enough to maintain the integrity of the original medley's without overplaying. There is a suttle beauty to these songs that lingers throughout the xmas season and beyond. It is music that can be played most anytime of the year and not seem unseasonal. I would recommend this disc to anyone who appreciates quiet music for those special moments to reflect on the beauty of the season any season. Peace on Earth and goodwill to all.

Spare and Lovely Renderings of Christmas in the Desert.......2003-10-30

The first track or two may seem a bit canned and mechanized, but the CD soon yields to the most gentle and beautiful guitar renderings of some favorite Christmas songs. The gentle melodies, the beautiful guitar themes, the Latin percussion and the Mexican horns soothe your soul and remind you of the beauty of the Southwest . . . you find yourself thinking about mountains, desert, firelight, travelers, caves and mangers. . .

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.......2002-12-13

I absolutely LOVE this CD. I enjoy listening to Christmas music around the holidays-- and this is BY FAR one of my favorites.

It gives a Southwestern flair to popular Christmas tunes.
I find it to be very pleasant and lovely music.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
