Excellent Christmas CD!, February 22, 2005
This review is from: Silent Night, A Christmas Program (Audio CD)
A wonderful and varied selection of holiday music that displays the majestic sound of the Washington National Cathedral by the choir, congregation and organ. My favorite track (and worth the price of the CD) is the final one, in which organist Douglas Major performs the truly magnificent and stirring Fantasie on Adeste Fideles.

For anyone who loves Christmas..., July 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Silent Night, A Christmas Program (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic recording, and anyone who a) loves music, b) loves Christmas, c) loves boys and men choirs is bound to love this album. Recorded in the magnificent and monumental Washington National Cathedral, this CD would be worth buying just to hear the unbelievable acoustics of that great church. That every single composition included is a gem is an added incentive. This is a wonderful introduction to beautiful Christmas music you are not likely to be familiar with. "A Child My Choice" by Richard Dirksen is the real standout track here, and Nicholas White's "How Far is it to Bethlehem" has all the makings of a holiday standard. An essential recording for any lover of holiday music! (Listen for the virtuoso tambourine part in one of the folk songs...)
