"There was a time, perhaps not too long ago, when the holiday season didn't seem quite so loud... Back then, or so we imagine, the holidays were as soothing and calm as a winter landscape after a snowfall... On this recording, harpist Ayako Shinozaki (with occasional help from Kazuko Shinozaki, also on harp) takes us back to the holiday season we wish we could remember, a time of almost contemplative intimacy. The songs and carols presented here, all arranged by Hiroshi Aoshima, run the gamut from the ancient to the modern... elegantly arranged and elegantly performed on the instrument of the angels." -- Jackson Braider |

Very unique harp seasonal music December 24, 2011
|
|||||
| By Joe W. (Arlington, VA) -- See All My Reviews | |||||
| I've always hated holiday music sung by pop stars, such as Springsteen (who is definately NOT the "boss" in my book). Holiday music should be played and sung by people with real voices and on real instruments; not this artificial stuff which never existed in steal life and sounds so unreal. Holiday music done in the classical music tradition is music that really existed in real time. Ayako's harp playing is so perfect; the sound, the acoustics, the amount of balance between simplicity and orchestration (not trying to overdo it), tempo, etc. is just PERFECT. His playing, his simplicity, and his choice of which carols to combine is incredible. It gives this CD such a warmth to it that you think the was playing just for you. You can listen to this CD a thousand times, and never tire of it. By the way, I'm not a Christian. But there must be a God to create music as beautiful as this and have it played to perfectly.

CHRISTMAS HARP December 22, 2011
|
|||||
| By Mary M. (Middletown, OH) -- See All My Reviews | |||||
| My husband and I just heard selections from this album on WGUC in Cincinnati, Ohio. Good harp music, classically played, is so very hard to find. This was a wonderful collection of Christmas Carols and music and we greatly enjoyed what we heard. I have just ordered the CD from the WGUC site and look forward to receiving it.
