5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Follow Up to the First Collection, December 10, 2003

By	Timothy Kearney (Hull, MA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This second disc is from the same performers of REJOICE: A STRING QUARTET CHRISTMAS and it basically follows the same formula. Christmas carols are arranged for a string quartet. The arrangements, which are in styles similar to the great classical composers' works, suit the music rather well. The major strength of this recording is the variety. The first disc has all the traditional holiday favorites, but this disc has a few well known carols as well as some lesser known works which makes the collection interesting. People who enjoyed the first collection will certainly enjoy the second as well.
