5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful recording, November 23, 2000

M. Marshall (Grand Canyon, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Simple Gifts: Christopher Parkening (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite CD's for setting a mood of peace and joy. It's pure solo guitar, beautifully played. A mix of classical, spiritual and hymnal music that shares a Christian theme. For anyone with a Christian background (and positive associations with it), this CD is a sure winner. For others it might lack some of the glow, but it's still lovely peaceful music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite & Divine, February 16, 2001

Linda "ayemlinda" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Simple Gifts: Christopher Parkening (Audio CD)

This treasure chest holds such jewels! The cd rushes in with the joyous energy of Bach's Praludium, allows you to reflect and catch your breath on Pritchard's Hyfrydol and Variation, and flows forward with the grace and underlying passion that makes this a precious favorite.
