5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Beautiful, November 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Carols Around the World (Audio CD)

This fabulous cd is now the standard mood-setter in my house at Christmas time. It's not your typical Rudolf or Little Drummer Boy fare, but a collection of carols you'll KNOW you've heard before even though you don't know the names, and everything, even the unfamiliar, eminate a serene, peaceful holiday feeling. Quink's voices are pristine and soaring, the arrangements are beautiful, and the melodies (especially "What Sweeter Music") haunt me all year long. Put it in your changer and hit "REPEAT".

This review is from: Carols Around the World (Audio CD)

I often woke up to this cd playing in the house during the holidays. If songs like "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," and "Jingle Bell Rock" are your style of classic carols, you might not appreciate the beauty and soothing tone of this collection. This album is definitely a quiet mood setter.
