What a find........2007-05-01

I first heard this CD played in the Abby bookshop of the Pennsylvania
Rennaissance Faire. I think I deprived them of their last copy. The brothers voices fit together seemlessly. I highly recomend this recording
to anyone who is tired of the radio's verison of Christmas music.

different and beautiful.......2006-11-25

This release came out after 9/11. I remember it because it's first piece begins very slowly - mournfully - and then slowly, ever so slowly, starts to pick up in tempo and spirit and become more and more joyful. The rest of the album is equally beautiful, and I am certain the only reason more people don't know of it is because we as a country just weren't in the mood for Christmas music at that time. This is the sort of unusual holiday music that is characterized by ancient, traditional melodies and the passion of the people who perform it for us, today. Once you hear it, you will never forget it. The highest recommendation.
