Customer Reviews
I love this recording!
This is one of my favorite Christmas CDs and it has all of my favorite Christmas tunes. I also think it’s one of the best Christmas albums on iTunes, bar none, and I own quite a few. I’m even listening to it well before Christmas just to get into the spirit while wrapping presents and decorating our home. The players are first-rate, the sound is gorgeous and the selection of pieces is just right. I’m not sure why iTunes doesn’t list any details for some recordings, so I’ll mention some here. The CD was made in the world famous Academy of Arts and Letters in NYC, one of the most revered recording spaces in the world. The players are Victoria Paterson (Violin), Christian Hebel (Violin), Junah Chung (Viola), Robert Burkhart (Cello), Eileen Bedlington (Trumpet), Sato Moughalian (Flute) and Kristina Musser (Violin. The composers that are included are George Frideric Handel, John Reading, Antonio Corelli, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Grüber, Engelbert Humperdink, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. A few of the tracks are traditional songs from Ireland, England and France. My only critical comment is that I only with that this was a double CD set so there would be more music, but when you are purchasing on iTunes, you can make a playlist with the CD and tracks from other CDs, so that’s covered.
Recommended
This CD has a great assortment of familiar Christmas tunes as well as a couple of surprises; the elegant and stately Winter from The Four Seasons, and the Christmas Concerto from Corelli, for example, are welcome inclusions for someone like me, who likes meatier pieces in between. Also, the less known, hauntingly beautiful Coventry Carol, captures a mood of winter that is both chilling and crystalline. The Lumiere String Quartet has done a fantastic job with this CD, and is one that I recommend for discerning listeners who appreciate the quality of their musicianship. Simply one of the best Christmas CDs in terms of sound quality and performance.
Performed Very Well !!!
I found this album weeks after Christmas. I was so moved by Classical Christmas and the Lumiere String Quartet I purchased it. Almost 4 weeks after the Holidays I still enjoy listening to them !
