notes
Light a crackling fire in the fireplace, light up the Christmas tree, settle down with a warm cup of egg nog or cider, and enjoy the dreamy accoustic elegance of "A Classic Christmas"!
The sounds of violin and guitar, augmented occasionally with string quartet, or with a violin trio and organ and cello (in Pachelbel's Canon) makes for a rich, organic, and peaceful mood that adds the finishing touches to that Christmas tree and that crackling fire in the fireplace.
Beautifully packaged in 4 color process, this CD is a delight to the eye as well as the ear, and makes an endearing pre-Christmas gift for those wanting to enjoy it during the December holiday season.

I ordered this after Christmas, but had to play it through before putting it away. Look forward to playing it lots come December. Love the instrumentation.

In this time of rush and glitter, this is an album that will not only instantly lower your blood pressure but literally induce a long sigh of relaxation; in other words, if you need to bring your holiday stress down a notch, we have found your answer. This is truly a classic, quiet Christmas album, bringing holiday music back to its origin. These well-known and loved Christmas carols are warmly arranged for the mellow and rich voice of classical violin, accompanied beautifully by classical guitar along with a string quartet and duet here and there. Perfectly compatible with the charming and contemplative atmosphere, a quiet house lit only by the lights of the tree, this elegant album really does seem to whisper, "peace on earth."
