5.0 out of 5 stars Add a little "class" to your Holiday, December 15, 1999

This review is from: I'll Be Home for the Holidays (Audio CD)

This CD, like 1996's "Home for the Holidays", has the Eaken Piano Trio providing a wonderful change to the usual holiday musical fare. Here we get some familiar, and some not so familiar, holiday tunes presented in an intimate chamber setting (piano, cello, and violin) with wonderfully inventive arrangements. At times the music is jazzy, at times "classical", at times light and bouncy, at other times quiet and contemplative. But it is always beautiful. In addition to Christmas numbers a number of these selections center on Chanukah as well. This music is perfect for serious listening - the creativity will amaze - also as background music for entertaining during the holidays. Pick this one up and while you're at it grab the Eaken Piano Trio's earlier release, Home for the Holidays, as well... at this price you can't afford not to.

I hope this talented ensemble releases some non-holiday music as well, to entertain us for the other eleven months of the year.

The Eaken Piano Trio is a glorious combination of terrific talent! They play so well together, it is as if there are six hands, playing three different instruments with one mind. Try any recording you can find of this tremendous trio!

If you are not in the mood for Christmas, buy and listen to this CD. I guarantee your mood will change when you have finished. The choice of music and the sound is exquisite.
