5.0 out of 5 stars "poetic & compelling arrangements...Latin blends flawless", November 2, 2001

By	J. Lovins "Mr. Jim" (Missouri-USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Our young composer/musician from Higher Octave, shares the peace of the "Holiday Season", with counterpoint flair...can only be described through his God-given-talent of music...fifteen selections that will open you heart, capturing the moment from surroundings that remind you of "peace on earth, good will toward men"...if it doesn't, you missed the Christmas message!

As usual there are stand outs ~ "DECK THE HALLS", puts you immediately in a festive mood..."ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH/HIGH ON HOPE", sends a message from within..."LITTLE DRUMMER BOY/LUNA NEGRA BEAT", Latin guitar blends of percussion, speaks to us on a Flamenco plain, simply breath-taking...but the highlight is "1ST NOWELL", always one of my favorites, Ottmar gives this traditional carol another whole meaning, Liebert's arrangement takes you back to another time, where it all took place, in a small stable and a star shining brightly.

Total Time: 53:39 on 15 Tracks ~ Higher Octave HOMCD-77605 ~ (1990)

4.0 out of 5 stars good flamenco versions of classic Christmas tunes, November 18, 1998

By A Customer

Ottmar Liebert does a great job of playing classic Christmas melodies with his own New Mexican style. His renditions are cheery and original. This is a great addition to any world music Christmas collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best CD in our Chrismas collection..., January 23, 2000

By	Eric H. (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

Out of my wife's and my 20 or so Christmas CD's this one gets the most play--from the tree going up to taking the last garland off the walls and the wreath off the door. I've been an Ottmar Liebert fan since I saw him open for Basia in 1989 at C.W. Post on Long Island and his signature flamenco sound is miraculous. He brought such a wonderful style of music to the mainstream and goes even further with this collection of Christmas classics as well as some originals that blend right in. A perfect CD...
