Editorial Reviews
Album Description
From the stylish solo guitar arrangements, to the "wire choir" of layered guitars and mandolin playing in harmony, it's easy to see why this disc has received so much critical acclaim. If you have only one Christmas cd in your collection, this should be it.
The Library Journal
"A rare treat...David makes even the most familiar carols seem fresh...almost too good to play only in December...best acoustic holiday album...Very informative liner notes...Highly recommended."
CD Review
"John David's guitar reflections...are as warm as a hardwood fire. Each track features his pensive acoustic guitar or mandolin...in a disc that's perfect for...quiet reflection."
Customer Reviews
Sets The Standard For Christmas Music
Christmas Guitar by John David is an instrumental collection of 13 popular holiday songs. Mr. David arranged and performed these carols flawlessly using acoustic guitars and mandolin. The performances are what sets Christmas Guitar apart from similar recordings: They are played so well you feel that is the way the original composer would have want them played. Christmas Guitar would be a welcome addition to your holiday music collection and is one of my favorites.
Crystal Clear and Beautiful Renditions
John David masterfully lets the melodies shine through while still using the timbre of his instrument in exactly the right way, accenting just the right moments and harmonizing in unique yet very fitting ways.
A definate must-own in any holiday music collection.
perfect for the holidays
It was just what I was looking for. A roaring fire glass of wine and the perfect christmas music.
