 A true Christmas offering. December 25, 2014 By A. Serna (Tracy, CA) See All My Reviews "The Britten was well done. The Laud to the Nativity was a gem. This piece is dear to my heart. Benita Valenti was a beautiful Angel. Maureen Forester was about the best Mary I have heard. Thanks for the lovely gift." Report Abuse
 Beautiful and moving performances. December 1, 2013 By Joseph Erdeljac (West Chester, PA) See All My Reviews "All the works on this recording are wonderfully performed by all singers. They use their voices to the best ability in service to the style of the works, never over singing and always with the proper amount of emotion and delivery." Report Abuse
