Orthodox Hymns of Christmas, Compact Disc [CD] 5 5 3 3

Quite different than what we Westerners are used to hearing around Christmas time. Let's just say you are not going to find any toe-tapping, sing-along tunes here. Having said that, this is wonderful, rich, beatifully Christ-centered music, something I invite the non-Orthodox to explore. Hope you enjoy. Highly recommended. November 15, 2011

I bought the cassette of this recording over 30 years ago. This is probably the most beautiful Christmas recording I've ever heard. It is definitely my all time favorite. I get chills every time I listen to the hymn "God is with Us!" A friend of mine heard the hymn 30 years ago and commented that if the cantor sang out the window, all the earth would Glorify God!!! I cannot state enough great things about this recording!!! September 6, 2010

Won't find your "O Come All Ye Faithful" or other traditional carols on this CD - it's a completely different repertoire. Beautiful music, and beautifully done. Most is choral, and the chant is very tastefully done. January 6, 2010
