CD Reviews

Nice Blend of Styles

C. Temple | San Jose, CA | 01/25/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is great ambient music for holiday gatherings and for playing in your car. I appreciate the blend of styles used in this work as well as hearing the more "nontraditional" songs. I was least enamored with their rendition of "Angels We Have Heard on High." Perhaps I have too much of the traditional rendering of this song in my head to appreciate what was attempted here. It felt choppy and disjointed. However, the exquisite oboe on other songs more than made up for this initial disappointment. "O Little One" "Walking in the Air" and "Masters in This Hall/March of the Three Kings" conveys the "comfort and joy" of the album title as well as the sentiments of the Season. I won't soon tire of this gem!"
