NARADA CHRISTMAS COLLECTION features performances of original compositions as well as interpretations of traditional selections - exemplary of the diversity and imaginativeness of Narada's artist roster. The album liner notes include artists' comments and reflections on their contributions to the album.
There are no words to describe this CD. I have many, many holiday cd's (I collect them) and I always start off the season and end it w/ this one. The melodies are so tender and sweet and at the same time they are also vaguely reminiscent of days gone by, a gentler era and time. You can almost feel the stress melting away as you slip into holiday relaxation mode.
