A Worthy Follow Up to the First Collection December 11, 2003
Timothy Kearney (Hull, MA United States)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This second disc is from the same performers of REJOICE: A STRING QUARTET CHRISTMAS and it basically follows the same formula. Christmas carols are arranged for a string quartet. The arrangements, which are in styles similar to the great classical composers' works, suit the music rather well. The major strength of this recording is the variety. The first disc has all the traditional holiday favorites, but this disc has a few well known carols as well as some lesser known works which makes the collection interesting. People who enjoyed the first collection will certainly enjoy the second as well.

#2 of the Rejoice! triumvirate is equally fresh and satisfying as the first.Christmas music for all year long. John Marks proves again there is much excitement in the unfamiliar.Bravo to this masterpiece of sound and performance.I hear the angels and I Rejoice! But alas,Santa came down the chimney,left the cookies and milk and made off with my copy.I'll need another ASAP.
