Title: Fabulous music
Review: This has been one of my favourite Christmas albums for years. Perhaps because it has none of the usual suspects from a Christmas album...no horn concertos, no Jingle Bell Rock, so it forms a welcome break from the Christmas radio monotony. However, the album is so good that I find myself listening to it all year round as well. The songs chosen are excellent (my favorite is Riu Riu Chiu, a song from Renaissance Spain), the singers spirited, the voices clear, piercing (in some portions) and well balanced. Sometimes with Renaissance albums or concerts, all the pieces seem to run together with a samey-ness that gets a bit tired, but the songs on this album were thoughtfully ordered for maximum pleasure and I can happily listen to this album again and again.
