Reviews:
“The music is beautifully sung and beautifully recorded, and the disc has deserved its reputation through the years. It's a collection of mostly sacred Christmas hymns, with a couple of traditional Christmas tunes thrown in for good measure (and sounding oddly out of place). After sublime renditions of "Silent Night," "Hosianna Davids Son," "Christmas Song," and the like, the concluding "Zither Song" and "White Christmas" strike an odd note. In fact, the performance of "White Christmas" with its jazzy organ accompaniment has always reminded me of a skating rink.” Classical Candor Review
