I was so pleased to find this CD for sale after trying it out at my local library. It features instrumental Christmas music by a family folk band, so I confess that initially I was not expecting too much from the album . . . I assumed it was going to be a bit "twee." Happily, however, my prejudice was entirely undeserved. I have to say that the selections are really fantastic. It is unique in that it features some of the harder-to-find carols like the traditional French "People Look East," the German "O Come Little Children" and a wonderfully haunting arrangement of the Advent hymn "Veni, Veni Emmanuel." The celtic-style arrangements are quite lovely too. This is the only album I own that brings that sense of peace and happy contemplation that is proper to Christmas, but sometimes so hard to capture with all the racket & activity of the season. This CD is the one you want to pop in when you've had enough of the holly jolly sound and just want to sit watching snow fall, admiring your tree, or preparing the nativity scene with your children. The price was extremely low in for all the enjoyment we've gotten from it.Read full review
