CD Reviews

Putting the Christ back in Christmas (Stellarly!)

Paul J. Mueller | St. Louis, Missouri | 12/01/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a member of Christ Church Cathedral's choir, and a longstanding opponent of the commercialization of Christmas, I wholeheartedly recommend this album as something special this Christmas season. From a truly remarkable O Holy Night, as sung by the award winning soprano, Mary Wilson, to personal favorites, such as the Coventry Carol, this album is a delight from start to finish, including, in addition, congregational hymns, so as to point towards Christ's true family. This album keeps Christmas music sacred, as it was intended, and is a delight to listen to year round. Stick this in someone's stocking, they'll be glad you did..."

Some wonderful artistry on this CD!

Mary Rasp | St. Louis, Missouri | 12/22/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This CD will earn a beloved place in your collection of Christmas CDs due to the wonderful performances of Mary Wilson "O Holy Night", Todd Wilson "I Wonder As I Wander", and William (Pat) Partridge. Buy it if you want an excellent recording of Christmas music in a great American tradition."
