In A Christmas Wish their second album, Rousseau and Carlton decided to give their vision of traditional Christmas carols. This task was not so easy - many brilliant musicians have paid their tribute to beautiful Christmas music. Among them Richard Clayderman, Kenny G and George Winston. Still Rousseau and Carlton brilliantly succeeded in making a new form of presenting traditional Christmas songs. And - here we have another miracle and another mystery. All the compositions, even the most famous ones, such as O Holy Night, What Child is This and Silent Night have obtained a new, very calm, tender and meditational sound - first of all thanks to the magical flute of Lorraine Rousseau and masterly guitar of Robert Carlton. Of course the sound of A Christmas Wish was realized thanks to the perfect help of other musicians ( most of them helped to record Its a Mystery) - Vernon Dorge (alto and soprano saxophone), Scott Alexander (acoustic bass), Brian Leonard (drums, percussion), Howard Baer (orchestrator, midi sound design). In my view, this work can be compared with the best albums released by the famous Windham Hill musicians, and it can be considered one of the best in the field of new age music. Listen to the wonderful meditative music of A Christmas Wish all year round, and Christmas spirit, special feelings and waiting for miracles to come, will always be with you.
