I recently purchased this CD and I am listening to it as I write this.There are quite a bit of tracks from Celtic Christmas Three so to me this CD feels more like a reissue of that CD, so if you already own that CD you may want to reconsider this purchase.The CD as a whole is what I'd expect from Winham Hill and they always seem to deliver the same high quality music. Although this CD is labeled as a Christmas CD it can be played throughout the entire year, yes, there are a few standard Christmas selections but a majority are original compositions. The only gripe I have is Patrick Cassidy's "Lament" has not been included on this CD,and is one of the most beatiful songs I've ever heard.
If your a Windham Hill fan, this CD is well worth the money.
Great for playing at Holiday get togethers for that added intamecy, or when your sitting in front of the fire on a cold winters night.....OR anytime during the year!
Simply magnifecent!

For the most part I liked this CD, but I almost wouldn't consider this a Holiday CD. The music was soothing & more like just regular Celtic music. It did have Altan & David Arkenstone on it, which is a major plus. I always like these artists.

Bought this last Christmas for 1 song and 1 song only... #7, Lully Lullay by Nightnoise. All I can say is ... WOW! The feelings that run through my body, my heart, my brain, and my soul... phenomenal!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I bought this (December 2008) and it's almost December 2009. Just listened to it and it made me realize how much Christmas is about the spiritual feelings, rather than the gifts and sales and everything else that's been commercialized.

If you can, buy song #7... if you can't, then buy the entire CD (which is what I did) and listen to Lully Lullay by Nightnoise. The $8 price is worth just for that 1 song... can't get enough of it.

Thank you, Nightnoise!!!

This is a nice CD, but it wasn't quite what I had expected. I'm a big fan of Celtic Woman and Enya so I thought I would enjoy this CD more than I do. It's a little different than the Celtic music I'm used to listening to. Many of the songs don't seem like holiday songs, so you could play this CD all year long and it wouldn't seem out of place.

Very soothing music... I hope to enjoy it more when I have more time, been really busy.
