  • This is my favorite Christmas music. No mawkish religiosity-just the tenderness and peace of a mother rocking her newborn baby. Beautiful and eternal.

  • An absolute favorite when it comes to christmas classicals. No christmas till I hear this. It seems like a shortened medley of the whole shabang tho. But still it´s timeless, priceless, calm...
