As Christmas time is approaching, everybody is expecting to hear Christmas Carols everywhere you go and you know off by heart how they sound - the same every year, so at some point you stop even noticing them when you hear them. Isn't it true! Well, in front of me is a CD with Christmas Carols, performed by accordion, chamber orchestra and harp. I can assure you, however with this collection of Christmas Carols you WILL notice and pay attention when you hear them! All the Carols were arranged, transcribed and composed with a lot of talent and good taste and performed by professionals of the highest standard. Although very delicate and clever work, highlighting the details very well, what amazes me is the general sound of the ensemble: it is so sophisticated and musically solid! Very rarely will you ever hear the accordion in combination with the harp, and this original duet formation sounds very interesting and warm. This recording certainly is an amazing tapestry of Christmas Carols! |
