4.0 out of 5 stars A Gift From A Genius, July 14, 2000

By 

Kenneth W. Bledsoe (Westtown, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas Album (Audio CD)

From the fingers that fused 'Tarkus'; from the mind that molded maniacal music with keyboard molestations; from the honky who helped heave huge pianos end over end... comes one of the most creative Christmas albums of all time. There are incredible arrangements included within this collection as well as stellar performances from the premiere key-meister of our time. The album closes with the most soulful version of 'Silent Night' that you will ever hear. Keith has been called every name in the book from genius to prodigy to legend. Listen to this album, though and get lost in the inherent soulfulness of the season. Then call Emerson the bringer of peace-filled tidings. Happy Christmas, Keith (in the middle of July) and thank you for your gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CD for all seasons, November 3, 1999

By 

Mauricio Botelho Silva (São Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas Album (Audio CD)

I place Keith Emerson side by side with giants like Paul McCartney, Miles Davies, Tom Jobim and Cole Porter. It is a shame is work is not known as it should be. Anyway, this is a good opportunity to become acquainted with one of the most creative, daring and coherent artist of our times. "Glorietta" and "I Saw Three Ships" are small masterpieces and show very eloquntly Keith's prowess both in synthesizers and the Grand Piano. It is time for the big labels to start editing some of the solo materials of this giant.
