5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly elegant Christmas music, October 4, 2000

I picked up this CD at a craft fair in Killington, VT, a few years ago, and what an incredible find it is! I have never heard Christmas music like this before. The songs are all familiar Christmas carols, but the style and composition are truly unique. Whereas traditional versions of the carols are banged out in 3 minutes or less, these folks take their time -- some songs are 8 minutes long (or longer, if I remember right). They take their time, and develop amazingly beautiful works of art. But the real clincher to these songs is Singh Kaur's hauntingly elegant, powerfully angelic voice -- Wow! Simply amazing.

I never would have considered "O Come Emanuel" to be a song I'd listen to anywhere outside of church, but their version is so indescribably beautiful that I found myself listening to it over and over again at home.

This is the perfect type of elegant, contemplative Christmas music to sit down next to a fire to, turn the Christmas tree lights on, and just relax and let it all go.

Much, much more than just a collection of Christmas carols. It's an absolute work of art....

I love this CD so much, because it's simple and peaceful. I sometimes play it in the summer too! lol. It's wonderful! You will not be disappointed. Singh Kuhr's Voice is mesmorizing. Songs are like beautiful Christmas lullabys.

We owned this as a cassette. We are grateful to have it in CD-format. What a blessing. This music is worth every cent.
