"Haunting and Delightful, Zeitler's glass armonica brings familiar melodies to life in a soothing, brilliant, beautiful way. Of the many excellent tracks on this recording, several must be heard to be believed. "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" was written to be played on this rare and vibrant instrument designed by Benjamin Franklin. There is simply no greater way to enjoy this classic than by listening to it performed by the glass armonica. "Silent Night" will take your breath away with its beautifully "light" melody that seems to float through the air as light as a feather. "Joy to the World" is truly joyous and light hearted, with amazing transients created by the armonica with soft, subtle strings playing along in perfect harmony.
When enjoying this disc, you truly feel as if you have been transported to a Victorian era music hall on Christmas Eve.

There's nothing else like this

"This CD sounds like nothing else out there. The glass armonica is rarely used, and Zeitler makes you wonder why. Beautiful and ethereal music well worth having."
