CD Reviews

I wish all the WS CDs were like this...

Robert L. Neblett | Dallas, TX, USA | 12/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"What I like about this CD, as opposed to the others in this series, is the inclusion of nontraditional vocals, rather than just instrumental versions of songs and carols. "Lullay Lully" is perhaps the most beautiful lullaby carol I've ever heard, and Barbara Higbie is WONDERFUL on it - so haunting! "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Christmas Bells" are simply gorgeous - very simple.Maybe I'm just a folkie at heart, and love that aspect of this CD, but this one rates as my second favorite Xmas CD, right below "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together.""

Love, peace and music

"

The most beautiful and subtle feelings about Christmas lie in this album. A great combination of artist with a lot of coherence between each one's inspirations create this saga which is a masterpiece in itself. Every Christmas time I hear my tape with this and the 2nd part... it's completely magical and gets you into the real feeling and the innocence and magic of Christmas. I'll briefly comment each song:

1. Little Drummer Boy - beautiful version

2. Hopeful - Michael Manring - big hearted piano

3. Christmas Song - Steve Erquiaga - nice and peaceful guitar

4. Veni Emmanuel - Turtle Island String Quartet - wonderful chamber music

5. Christmas Bells - John Gorka - a folkie song

6. Lullay, Lully - Barbara Higbie - stunning ballad; magic

7. Trepak - The Modern Mandolin Quartet - funny song

8. Of the Father's Love Begotten - Tim Story - very religious

9. Coventry Carol - Paul McCandless - ooh... perfect harmony

10. Sleepers, Awake - Andy Narell - nice steel drums

11. Snow Is Lightly Falling - Nightnoise - absolute magic

12. Pavane - Liz Story - just nice

13. In the Bleak Midwiner - Pierce Pettis -- beautiful voice

The last two songs I don't have in my tape. This is one of the most beautiful and heartful albums I've ever heard. I never will forget it."

Sam "Sam" stands alone this time...

"I've enjoyed all the Winter Solstice collections except the "Winter Solstice on Ice" - now, that's atrocious! No. III is one of my favorites because of the vocals. The version of "In the Bleak Midwinter" is one of the most purely spiritual carols I've ever heard. In fact I'm buying my second copy of this CD today because my first has disappeared."
