5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous arrangements & playing., December 17, 1998

This review is from: A Cello Christmas (Audio CD)

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.

This review is from: A Cello Christmas (Audio CD)

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.
