Imagine a holiday album that's more like a series of impressionistic paintings or stark watercolors from the hand of a gifted observer and artisan. Ottmar Liebert (who plays flamenco guitar but not usually in the purely flamenco style, plus other guitars) and his three musical associates deliver an understated kind of holiday record where less is more, an audio gift with fleeting sounds and unexpected flourishes that color and shade the familiar and new. Faure's "Pavane," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," Tchaikovsky's "Arabian Dance" from the Nutcracker and other well known pieces get Liebert's acute artistic treatment . For example, his "Bethlehem" is also tagged with a side trip to the "City of Tijuana" that is alluring and electric without losing sight of the original destination. His handful of originals such as "The Longest Night" and "Winter Blue" share a kind of trance-like affect and yet never lose their bearing. It's a delicate and completely satisfying achievement that permeates Winter Rose and transcends the holidays. It can be played again and again for any occasion. Highly recommended. -- Martin Keller

4.0 out of 5 stars Holiday music by Latin Guitar., April 11, 2009

By	Johnny B "Mr. Excitement" (Panama City, Panama) - See all my reviews

Ottmar Liebert is a genius when it comes to Latin Guitar music. All of his collects are wonderful. Winter Rose is an excellent addition for music listener, particularly around November, December months, "Holiday time". The music does not over power you with "Christmas" songs, just smooth flowing instrumental Latin Guitar music that gets you in a mood. The best way to describe this album is image that you are at a holiday party in the evening at someone's house or a quite restaurant in candle light dinner. It is also good for driving at night. My favorite song on this album is West Coast for a Snake.
