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!
