Wonderful

This CD is great BECAUSE its simple piano music. Chris Rice is an excellent musician and I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves Christmas music... anyone who thinks this CD is terrible, obviously has no musical taste whatsoever.

Beautiful interpretation

I loved this CD-- the music is simple, but not simplistic. The renditions of "O Holy Night" and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" were very well done in particular. Rice is a great musician, and this CD lives up to his usual standard of excellence.

Meditations for Christmas

This piano music only CD is a great addition to your Christmas collection. At Christmas parties, you can certainly play this music in the background and not be encumbered by words. I take this CD to nursing homes, children's gatherings . . anywhere people are. These Christmas carols are well loved. The music behind them is simple - almost inviting the listener to sing along. How much better can a CD be that invites you to sing along? Christmas is so busy and stressful - that simple melodies and choruses break the stress. Nicely done!

This is as pleasant as it gets...

I'm not sure what ax a few of the other reviewers have to grind, but this is a fantastic Christmas album. It is exactly what it claims to be, which is a simple recording of Chris Rice playing some Christmas songs on the piano in his living room.

It is not a particularly brilliant or earth-shattering musical powerhouse, but it provides a lovely set of Christmas music that is great to play at work or as background music for a Christmas party. And there are enough intricacies and personal touches that Rice includes to keep it interesting.

I would not suggest that anyone buy this album with the expectation that their mind will be blown. But it is an absolutely delightful offering of simple carols that will surely augment anyone's Christmas music collection!!

Very Relaxing

This cd contains Chris Rice's reflective piano solo arrangements of twelve classic Christmas songs and an arrangement of one of his own works, "Welcome To Our World." The arangements are very light, and work extremely well for soothing background music. His delicate and unimposing style works well with all of these songs, giving the album a strong musical unity. My favorite arrangements are "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear," "Welcome To Our World," and "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing." If you like this cd, I would also highly recommend the Living Room Sessions, which is the same thing, but with hymns instead of Christmas songs.
