Amazing!!.......2005-09-21

Absolutely one of the best...and I agree with the other reviewer who said that it ranks way up there. Good music is when you listen time and time again and it never tires. This is one of the most relaxing but non-boring, literally music to the ears. You might also want to look at Dan Gibson's Christmas Classics. Both of these albums are the very best.

FANTASTIC..................2003-09-20

THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST CHRISTMAS ALBUMS ON THE MARKET. IT RANKS UP THERE WITH DAVID ARKENSTONE AND MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER FOR WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS MUSIC. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE GREAT CHRISTMAS MUSIC.

Brilliant and clear.......2006-08-02

I bought this CD on a lark, based on prior experience with Maddy Prior. That was fifteen years ago, and it has been a Christmas staple in our house ever since. A brilliant piece of work, carefully crafted and beautifully executed, producing a clear vision of the holiday season like a cold, clear winter night brings out the stars. This is not a crushingly religious work, but one that lifts and then soars. The arrangements are sparse but full and rich, with a focus on the vocals. Brilliant and clear. Top recommendation.

You won't be disapointed.......2006-02-27

From beginning to end, you will find this disc lifting your holiday spirit. If you enjoy tradional carols on period instuments and the Celtic lilt of Maddy's voice, you won't be disappointed in this disc.

English Folk Christmas - Revisited.......2005-12-20

This a really a wonderfully refreshing Christams album, one that never grows old, year after year, listening after listening. I love to pull this out every year and even after I've listened to some of the alums once and hidden them away for another year I'll leave this recording out a while longer.
Maddy Prior's voice sounds more lively than on some of her other traditional recordings with Steeleye Span; the combination of musicians making up the Carnival Band make up a lively backing for her.
It's an album I tried to steal from my parents and couldn't get away from them! I had to buy my own copy and I'm sure you'll be glad once you get your own copy. A little-known seasonal classic.
One minor quip - neither the album nor the Amazon posting correctly credit the composer for It Came Upon the Midnight Clear; it should be Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan), not Willis who composed the more familiar American version of the carol.

A favorite forever.......2005-12-14

More than a decade ago, I spent weeks trying to track this disk down in pre-online shopping days and after literally months got one from the distributor on Long Island. We have since worn out the old disk and ordered a new one. I was convinced it would be unavailable. Nooooo! Amazon is amazing, it took seconds to find it and a minute to buy it.


It is t h e favorite, cherished Christmas CD in our household. Maddy's voice is singular and a delight. The combination of her folk-style warmth with the Carnival Band's interesting and fun backups that sound like renaissance dances will transport you into Christmas like no other disk and make you smile. None of the pomp of some disks and none of the smarm of those 'holiday' favorites.

For example: Angels from the Realms of Glory is done in an arrangement that sounds like a hoe-down. Seriously great.

Simply the Best Ever Christmas Album!.......2003-12-06

"Carols and Capers" and "Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh" (released just before Christmas 2002 by Maddy and the Carnival Band) may be brilliant, but a "Tapestry of Carols" is simply the best!
I've had "A Tapestry of Carols" for twelve long years and it still sends a shiver down my spine when December rolls around again. But, why? True, there are some less well known carols on the album such as, "The Angel Gabriel","The Sans Day Carol" and "Personent Hodie", but there's also "God Rest You Merry Gentleman", "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" and others that have been recorded thousands of times. Well, according to the insert notes, Maddy and the Carnival band "deliberately shut out all memories of cathedral choirs, brass bands and supermarket jingles" in the making of the album. As one reviewer in a Canadian newspaper put it, when you listen to "A Tapestry of Carols, you actually feel that a saviour has been born!"
Close your eyes while you listen to "Angels From the Realms of Glory", and chances are, you'll see the heavenly host and the humble shepherds doing cosmic cartwheels out in the fields. If you've forgotten what Christmas is all about, crank up the volume on "Rejoice and be Merry" - you'll soon recall that it's "the birthday of Jesus our King!"

damn little comfort and no joy.......2005-06-23

Muzak to my ears. Vapid, unimaginative arrangements more suited to department store bargain rooms than the home (not that I like piped in music anywhere). It's got one star because it is not possible to give 0 stars.
