A great CD - pure and simple Christmas music

"Danny Wright is one of the most gifted musicians I have ever had the pleasure of listening to, and this disc is exceptional. Don't buy it if you're expecting Mannheim Steamroller-type arrangements. Wright's talent lies in his ability to play with a fluid, graceful style that emphasizes the music, not the musician. I've listened to this CD and cassette for 8 years (the cassette wore out after 6 years), and it still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. The best way to describe Wright's effort here? "Less is more" - simple piano tracks, minimalist production, pure, beautiful Christmas music. If you want great music for a holiday dinner party, background music, or you just love listening to a gifted pianist doing what he was born to do, then this CD is for you."
This cd is about average

"Since I have bought this cd, I have added most of Danny Wrights' catalog to my collection. Danny does have more ability than is demostrated on this cd. He does know how to play in a romantic passionate style.For this cd Danny choose to give us a mixed bag. Contrary to public opinion, this cd is not all solo paino like most of Dannys' other cds. This cd features violin and penny whistle on some of the tracks. I felt like there were some bright spots on this cd. Danny did some great playing on a few of the tracks, but left a lot to be desired on some of the tracks. Also I felt like the repertoire was not that great.Like I mentioned in my title to this review, this cd is ok, but nothing close to being what I would call great!I expect the best from Danny and nothing less than that will do.I can not recommend this cd!"
