Customer Reviews:

Absolutely lovely..........2003-12-01

This is one Christmas CD I can put in and play starting in November and never tire of....almost round-the-clock! It is so soft and ethereal...almost background music for the peace and serenity we crave at this season. The holiness of Christ's birth and the story of loving sacrifice He brought comes through. Listen to it while putting up the tree or washing all those dishes after the company has gone home on Christmas Eve...it will make your spirit glad.

Soft, but gorgeous sounds.......1999-12-15

I've listened to this cd many times since I purchased it and I still can't find a selection that doesn't bring tears to my eyes. The sound quality is good (even the cuts from older analog collections sound good!) Particularly beautiful are "The Infant King" by Wilcocks and "The Nativity Carol" by Rutter. The hautingly beautiful "Coventry Carol" is right on the mark. I highly suggest this cd to anyone who loves English Christmas Carols or even to anyone putting the tree up with a quiet fire in the next room and powdery drifts of snow piling up out of your picture window! (Even the cover is gorgeous!)
