This is an Experience....Not just a CD

"If you are looking for a Christmas CD that treats the holiday with the reverence it deserves and very seldom gets, then stop looking for Christmas music...this is the one! This is the only Cusco album that I own and I think I just took a chance on purchasing it, but I've not regretted it for a moment. The sound is very reminiscent of the cover art on the CD itself; calming and soothing. It's so beautiful that it takes my breath away at times. I find that the best time to TAKE IT IN is after everyone has gone to bed on Christmas Eve; the house is bathed in stillness and the room is glowing with the Christmas decorations and candlelight. (I say take it in because this is an experience more than it is Christmas music.) I find myself looking out of the frosty windows staring at the crystal clear night stars; meditating and thinking what a beautiful gift the Christ Child is to us all. This music evokes those feelings effortlessly and completely stirs the soul with its mix of choral and instrumental arrangements. It brings you to the true meaning of the Holiday rather than sweep you away with commercialism. If this is where you think you'd like to be this Christmas then you need this CD.

"In general I don't like Christmas albums but this is different.I work in a retail store,where you hear almost for two month nothing but Christmas songs.How many versions of White Christmas or Rudolph the red nose reindeer can you listen to before it gets on your nerves.Now when I come home I'm looking forward for a nice relaxing evening and this CD on.I usually bring other Cuzco in to the mix like Concierto de Aranjuez and Australia.With candlelight and nice glass of wine nothing feels better.And this you can listen to all year long{minus silent night especially by 90 degree weather}."
