Title: Background music for a bad restaurant
Product review: I enjoy the music of Ottmar Liebert, but this cd is dreadful. The disc opens with a rendition of "Deck the Halls" that's slow enough for a classful of six-year-old violin students to keep up with. The over-emphasized downbeat in "I Saw Three Ships" ruins that song as well.The problem with Christmas music sometimes is that, since we've grown up hearing these tunes, we forget to appreciate how lovely some of the melodies really are. This disc does nothing to remind us. I can't imagine any less soulful or heartfelt versions of these songs. Skip this disc and get Joe Pass: Six-String Santa instead. Six-String Santa has got to be one of the best instrumental Christmas Collections of all time. Trust me.
