Narada Christmas Collection, Volume 2 - 1992

A dynamic encore to one of the best-selling Narada titles ever, NARADA CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, Volume 2 contains original arrangements of 15 traditional holiday favorites from six countries. The album creatively blends eloquent solo compositions with full orchestrations, jazz impressions with ethnic folk carols, and classical arrangements with contemporary pop. It is 72 minutes of the best music of the season, featuring David Lanz and Paul Speer, David Arkenstone, Michael Gettel, Kostia, Ralf Illenberger, Nando Lauria and others. A beautiful CD book contains exquisite art, prose, and poetry.
This album is my favorite Christmas album. The classics are so well done! And the new original songs - with a little marketing, they could become classics. "Song of the Evergreen" & "Gloria" are especially wonderful.
