This cd continues to be my favourite Christmas cd, after repeated playings, year after year. I can't say that there is anything that I don't like about it, it's absolutely fabulous, a real gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Christmas Is REALLY All About, November 21, 1999

This review is from: Nativitas - A Celebration of Peace (Audio CD)

During the rush of the Christmas season, oftentimes we forget what Christmas is really all about. In an exceptionally beautiful and reverent way, NATIVITAS reminds us of how God's love came to us in the birth of Jesus Christ. The music takes us on a journey of a spiritual nature with beautiful a cappella voices of the Choir of New College. An exquisite flute transitions medieval, classical and contemporary carols which have been intelligently arranged thus giving the listener a peaceful and reflective musical experience.

Especially beautiful are "The Little Road to Bethlehem" and the "Stille Nacht".

NATIVITAS is a celebration of what all christians hold most dear--God's grace and God's love for each one of us. Through listening, it reminds us once again what Christmas is REALLY all about. Highly recommended.

I have cd's with christmas music from several famous ensembles. This is one of my absolute favourites. If you like the voice of English boy-choirs, this is a must-have!
