If only there were a thirteenth day ..........2007-02-04

This unsung compilation of carols is played with understated and brilliant poise by Lewis Ross, self-styled 'Master of Guitars' and 'Practitioner of Musick' of the New American Guitar Ensemble.

Ross tosses off fifteen traditional Christian carols that embellish the religious legacy of Christmas--Santa Claus is not invited here and does not appear--with his highly accomplished touch on classical guitar.

The superb result repays both careful listening and background playing during Christmas dinner.

It is hard to recommend an album of Christmas music more highly than A Collection of Favourite Christmas Carols' deserves.

Wonderful Music.......2006-12-14

I do not know how I happened to get this music on tape. I have had it for years (maybe 18 or so). Every year I drag it out and play it. I thought by accident I left it in a boom box I gave to the good will. Of course I had nothing to tell me the name of the album or artist. The other day I found it in box of old tapes and thought I better see if I could get a CD. I am thrilled to find it here. It is a must have album for Christmas!

The Best.......2005-11-20

Heard this for years growing up in the 80's spending countless holidays in Santa Fe. My uncle had this and always played around the holidays. Heard it for the first time in about 15+ years in 2002 and was able to find it (sorry, not on Amazon then). Glad to see Amazon has this now as I personally think it is the best Holiday cd I own.

An Island of Sanity in a Crazy Holiday World.......2004-12-29

I've been listening to this album since my mother got it on cassette. There's a follow-up Christmas album, too-- I think it's called Songs, Hymns, and Carols. This is a must-have album. I mean, when people hear it for the first time, they say, "I must have this album." Musically, it is a pleasure to listen to the excellent playing. But the mood is the real draw. This is the most mellow, good-natured approach to holiday music you will ever encounter. I play it in the car as an antidote to rush-hour stress and frantic last-minute shopping. Christmas wouldn't feel right without this album!

A Christmas GIFT!!.......2004-12-02

If you are looking for to trim your tree to some good Christmas music and have been dissapointed with screeching vocals in some of the contemporary Christmas music covers, than look no further. My mother bought the tape over 10 years ago and I have played it every Christmas celebration of my own since. Ross's playing is extremely well-executed and the tone of the whole album is lovely. It is great to listen too on a snowy evening, while trimming the tree, or snuggled up around the fire. It is subtle enough to play during dinner without being obtrusive but artful and worthy of a full listen. This album is guaranteed to be one of your favorites. Don't pass this one up.
