This is simply the most beautiful CD of German Christmas music that I have ever heard. I would recommend it to anyone who loves these old hymns. You don't have to be German.

I am of German descent and wanted a CD of traditional German Christmas music. This CD is exactly what I was looking for. The voices and music are lovely. You get to hear Silent Night, From Heaven Above To Earth I Come, & O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree) as they were meant to be heard. There are even clips of church bells from various churches in Germany. I highly recommend this CD.
If you like this one or think you'd like it, I also recommendChristmas Greetings from the Alps - Austrian & German Christmas Music

I have been listening to this music since I was 3 years old. This is truly a music from angels.This music touches your soul like no other. It does makes you somber to reflect your life and the sacrifice our Lord Jesus did for us.This music is not about Santa Claus or shopping but to make you follow closely Jesus steps and become a better father,brother or son.I wish everyone will have the chance to listen to this CD since it took me 30 years to find it on a CD format.
