CD Reviews

Beautiful Choral Christmas Music

G. M. MCNAIR | Portland, OR United States | 12/16/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is, basically what it says, classic Christmas music done by a good choir and a wonderful organist.

The sound is great, the choir is dead on, and the music is beautiful and traditional.....no surprises here.....good or bad. Plus, it's eight bucks for essentially what is a two disc set.....fifty three songs.

If you are looking for a nice traditional Christmas album, you could do a whole lot worse."
