"If I had to throw away all of my holiday music cd's but one (and I have dozens), this would be the hands-down winner. No recording more beautifully captures the holdiay season for me, the austerity of the manger contrasted with the opulence of the feast we celebrate to honor Christ's birth. This is music for a sparkling winter night, simple, clear, elegant and perfect. Therese Schroeder-Sheker plays the harp beautifully, and sings like an angel, her voice full of sweetness, sadness, and ultimately serenity. Her sincere belief in her material shines out of every performance. Take Bing Crosby out of the player this year, and put this cd in instead, while you're sipping egg nog and wrapping gifts for your loved ones... you will never be able to imagine Christmas without it once you've experienced it. Don't forget to send a copy to someone special."
Peaceful...angelic...simply beautiful!

"Theresa Schroeder-Sheker truly sounds angelic in this beautiful CD. It evokes such a sense of peace and tranquility. This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas CD's -- which, I think, would be just as soothing & comforting any time of year. And I would echo the 2 previous reviews. Heavenly! Close your eyes when you listen to this and you'll think you're being serenaded by an angel! (\ö/)"
It is a shame therese isn't as popular as she deserves

"This music reminds us why Christmas is also a time for reflection and peace. Every arrangement comes from her heart and soul but with Schroeder-Sheker's profound musicianship beneath.Give this as a gift to someone who needs time for peace and beauty in his or her life . . ."
