Jim Brickman has revolutionized the sound of solo piano with his pop-style instrumentals and star studded vocal collaborations. Since the release of his debut album "No Words" in 1994, Jim Brickman's romantic piano sound has defined him as a marquis among contemporary instrumental hit makers. His signature style of playing and songwriting has a Grammy nod in 2003, Two SESAC "Songwriter of the Year" awards, a Canadian Country Music Award and a Dove Award presented by the Gospel Music Association. Jim's best-known compositions include the chart-toppers "Valentine," "The Gift," "Love of My Life," "Simple Things" and "Peace." In November 2005, he held the top three spots on Billboard's New Age chart for his albums The Disney Songbook, Grace and Greatest Hits. Jim has established a reputation for his collaborations with many gifted musical artists that include: Martina McBride, Gerald Levert, Lady Antebellum, Michael W. Smith, Kenny Loggins, Carly Simon, Herb Alpert, Collin Raye, Pam Tillis, Michael Bolton, Sara Evans, Donny Osmond and Olivia Newton-John.
Jim's latest holiday recording, THE HYMNS & CAROLS OF CHRISTMAS features an intimate collection 15 traditional classics and a few new Christmas compositions. Collaborations on this release include a vocal performance by Canadian singing sensation, Mark Masri and Celtic violinist, David Klinkenberg.

Christmas hymns and carols in classic Jim Brickman style,
By
This review is from: Hymns & Carols of Christmas (Audio CD)
If you love Jim Brickman's arrangement and playing style and want a CD with traditional Christmas hymns and carols, you will almost certainly love this CD.
Most of the tracks are easily recognizable classic hymns or carols. One of these "Holy, Holy, Holy" is not usually considered a Christmas hymn but it is a nice arrangement. I didn't recognize "Angels Blessing" but there was no composition information in the liner notes so it must be a tune with which I am unfamiliar. There is a more contemporary song, "Christmas Is...." that will be familiar if you listen to a contemporary Christian music radio station. It is the only one that has a vocal part (sung by Mark Masri not Brickman). The arrangements are pretty much in the classic Jim Brickman style so there are no surprises there. Brickman's earlier Christmas album The Gift is on my "frequent play" list from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day. This CD is a little too similar to that one (and less familiar) for it to become a favorite yet. But it is very pleasant and relaxing music for Christmas and would be a good gift idea for someone who wants non-intrusive Christmas carol music to keep playing in the house during the holidays.

I like the soft and mellow sounds of this CD. If you have a fire and are just sitting around enjoying the season, put this on and enjoy the evening.

I am very happy with this purchase! This type of Christmas music is not usually what I listen to...
but I decided to try it for something different and I'm glad I did. Very relaxing. I would buy another Jim Brickman CD.
