Classy! April 30, 2001 John Pickard (Bethesda. MD United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Daryl Runswick's arrangements are at once classy, wonderfully imaginative and humourous. They range from the contemplative (making masterful use of the 'cello's melancholy sounds) to the downright jazzy. His earlier work in arranging for the King's Singers shines through. This is a 'must-have' in any Christmas collection. But don't wait for Christmas - hey, this stuff is good listening at any time.
Lovely music December 12, 1999 Victoria Suarez (Richardson, Texas) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love this album! It is a wonderful combination of cellos and voices, old and new music.
Fabulous arrangements & playing. December 17, 1998 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorite holiday albums. The choice of Christmas music is unusual. The sound of multiple cellos is warm and rich. Great background or foreground for any holiday activity.
