5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal , January 27, 2005

By	Nathan Cooper "njcooper5" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this reasonably priced Bach Christmas CD.
It has a nice mix of Bach's choral, instrumental, and organ music which is organized in a nice way. The choir does a remarkable job on track 11, a most difficult piece to perform I'm sure; they sound absolutely beautiful. It could bring tears to your eyes as it has with me.
This disc has inspired me to pick up some more Bach CD's on the Naxos label.
For the price of this disc, you can't go wrong. And the music is great for year-round listening.
