A must have
This is one of the most moving Christmas CDs I own (and I have over fifty). The classically trained voices give some exquisite renderings. This is really an unusual Christmas collection--it's not background music, but something to enjoy in private.
Beautiful and uplifting!
A wonderful collection of traditional spirituals with a Christmas theme. Inspired performances by both soloists and chorus. These songs capture the true meaning of the Christmas season; that of hope, love and joy.
Essential Christmas listening..
Worth the "price of admission" if all you got to hear was the wonderful "Mary Had a Baby." Especially at the prices it can be had for in good used condition. Classical music meets gospel and produces a timeless result.
