Customer Reviews:
Perfect for Holiday quiet times........2004-11-22
This is a compilation of gorgeous holiday arrangements. All instrumental, the sounds are lush, warm, and definitely peaceful. Track #8, Lo, How A Rose, is hauntingly beautiful. Myself a Christmas historian, I have hundreds of Christmas CDs. This is the first album I play each year in order to ease myself into the season. If I am looking for something to put me in the "Christmas mood" i.e. something jovial, this wouldn't be the album. No tinny-sounding keyboards or electric guitars. This collection is soothing and calm, one to be savored by the lights of the tree. It would also be a lovely backdrop for a time of Christmas devotion or meditation. These arrangements, though familiar carols, are fresh and unique sounding. Peaceful, but definitely not elevator music. Treat yourself to a rare moment of tranquility this Christmas. Buy this album.
Excellent !.......2002-12-30
"Peace on earth to all man of goodwill" - This CD really puts you in the right peacful mood which, the Birth of Christ we celebrate at Christmas, reminds us of, brings around and urges us to do our part to achieve.
Very exquisite instrumental arrangements of rare beauty
