5 out of 5 stars My favorite Christmas CD.......2006-08-06

My parents picked up this recording when I was a child and it became for me the quintessential Christmas music. Several years after I moved out on my own I begged them for the tape to make a copy (shh, don't tell) and to my horror discovered that it had been lost. I moped for years and spent quite a bit of time trying to track it down to no avail. Then I discovered it here on Amazon and have been made happy again. It is such a refreshing change from traditional Christmas music (which I also love) and even as I write this review in August, the tunes play in my mind. Get this CD and you won't regret it--I promise. This is the first and probably only review I'll ever make and it's all in honor of my favorite CD in my collection.

5 out of 5 stars HSQ Does Christmas (again).......2005-12-30

If you liked the original "What If Mozart Wrote 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'"
by The Hampton String Quartet on the RCA Red Label, you'll love the digital re-recording of many of these tunes by the original artists, The Hampton String Quartet, on "HSQ Does Christmas (again)."

This new recording ( Sept., 2005) by HSQ features eight favorites from the "What If Mozart" album ("Frosty," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "Rudolph," "White Christmas," "The Little Drummer Boy," "Winter Wonderland," and "Let It Snow"), plus three new arrangements ("O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Greensleeves" and " "We Wish You A Merry Little Christmas").

The CD is available on the web at the MonaLisaSound.com website and on Amazon. You'll also find three rock CDs by the original rock string quartet, The Hampton String Quartet. "Take No Prisoners," the latest CD, is HSQ at its best - "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This," "Paint It Black" and "Heartbreaker" are just a few of the standouts on this CD. Have fun!

4 out of 5 stars Pleasant change-up in your holiday music.......2004-12-02

A cute little christmas album.

If you like lite classical or classical pop, you'll probably get a real kick out of this quaint little 1986 offering by the Hampton String Quartet. The arrangements are all offered in a serious way - what if all these Xmas tunes were given a classical string quartet arrangement? The efforts range from the predictable to the outstanding (The faux-fugal arrangement of DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? is a high point).

The MOZART in the title is somewhat misleading, though. Warren Schatz (producer) attempts different classical styles (in his wish for "The perfect Christmas album") besides old "Wolfy." WHITE CHRISTMAS is a bit more Beethoven-y than Mozartian, and THE CHRISTMAS SONG is definately in a Debussey vein.

If you can find this one for a decent price, snap it up.

Originally on the RCA Red Seal Digital label.

4 out of 5 stars Background Christmas music.......2007-07-16

This is excellent background Christmas music. Perfect for something playing in the background when you're enjoying supper, listening to Uncle Steve tell about his trip through Arkansas and getting pulled over by a State Trooper (again), watching yor nieces & nephews tearing up Grandma's house and thanking God they're not your kids.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD if you can find it!.......2002-01-30

This is vintage Hampton String Quartet. Recorded while they were still on RCA, this album shows the group's early potential. To see how they have grown, compare the "Stairway to Heaven" on this CD with the "Stairway to Heaven" on HSQ's independent CD "Sympathy For The Devil". The rock string quartets capture the vitality and energy of rock much better than other attempts by classical musicians. A great CD!

4 out of 5 stars Mozart Meets Steppenwolf.......2000-06-22

This is a great CD for studying and working to. It's all of your favorite songs but done classical style which helps improve on mental abilities. I listen to this while I am at work or studying in my dormroom. The Hampton Quartet really pulls through with this one. 4 stars!

    2 out of 5 stars Not as good as..............2005-09-19

    I have had the first Hampton Xmas cd for some years (What if Mozart Wrote "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas") and I and my family enjoy it immensely every year. This 2nd cd, which I have been trying to find for a number of years, was a bit of a disapointment. Not as good as the first by far.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Holiday Music.......2004-01-04

    Witty and excellent arrangements of popular Christmas songs filled with musical jokes for those familiar with the String Quartet literature. This CD makes excellent background music for holiday gatherings. The arrangements don't require special knowledge to be delightful.
