Editorial Reviews

Melodymaker Magazine
A real joy of an album. Love the first overture arrangement "Christmastime!"

Product Description
The printed insert of the CD starts with a question - "Does the World Really Need Another Christmas Album?" If you need fresh new holiday music by chance, this album is a sure hit. Zak and Jimmy from the Den Recording Studio in Whippany, NJ truly show their talents representative of their extensive experience as song writers, producers, and performing artists. The Den performs a warm and exciting rendition of your classic Christmas holiday songs that makes its genre difficult to classify. It isn't jazz, classical, fusion, or whatever...it's a little of all those things.

Album Description

Recorded by world-renowned harpist Sylvia Woods, these lovely Christmas carols are performed on three special harps: a nylon-strung Neo-Celtic harp, a wire-strung ancient Celtic harp, and a triple-strung harp. Each carol is performed by Sylvia on 1, 2, or 3 harps, with no other accompaniment. This volume (#1) contains 28 traditional carols.

Lovely Christmas Album.......2001-12-24

I had almost the same experience as the first reviewer: heard this music on the classical radio station at christmas time some years ago (KXPR in Sacramento, CA), and had been searching for it ever since. It is surprising how beautiful these oft-heard melodies sound in this setting, and how strongly the spirit of christmas comes through them. A simply enchanting album.

Heavenly Music!.......2000-07-10

Just before Christmas last year, WCRB, the top classical musicstation in Boston played a selection from the Sylvia Woods "ThreeHarps for Christmas" CD. It was the most lovely thing I had heard in a long time....a lone harp, so pure and so angelic! I searched for this CD in stores locally, but no one carried the album; most had never even heard of it. It has taken me seven months to find it here on Amazon.com, but when I did, I immediately ordered both volumes. They are both splendid! I have listened to them over and over again since they arrived (and it's July!) The music is simply heavenly and seems to tumble so fluidly and unforgettably from her harp. It has all the magic and anticipation and joy of Christmas there within. It will be a forever favorite that I shall treasure for every Christmas to come.

Unique and Intriguing.......2002-01-09

This album is AWESOME. I found the melodies and overall feel to be a breath of fresh air to those stale old tunes. Jimmy Wilgus and Zak Rizvy truly do the selections justice. I was VERY skeptical that these guys had done anything that could make me a fan, but that skepticism has melted away leaving only a want for more. Please keep the tracks coming.........

Move over, Chipmunks!.......2001-11-22

I don't know who these guys are, or where they came from, but WOW. Messrs. Rizvi and Wilgus manage (with almost no additional help - that's a very short list of guest musicians in those liner notes) to breath new life into stock Christmas tunes you thought you'd never want to hear again. I know I didn't, until a friend played the CD for me. The respectful serenity of the opening medley caught my ear, and then the so-sweet-my-molars-ache arrangement of "Winter Wonderland," sung by Wilgus, had me hooked. And these guys are no slouches, either. The quality of arrangements, musicianship, recording, etc., are SO good... you really can't stop listening once you start. Young or old, devout or Godless, there's something for everyone on this CD. (sniff) I might even go to Church this Xmas.
