Christian Xmas music using Asian instruments.......2001-07-21

A different listening experience for sure. The use of Asian instruments to play mostly "Western" style Christmas carols is a nice twist on common themes. Definitely would recommend to someone who likes the classic carols but is looking for a different listening experience.

Chinese Traditional Instruments Playing Western Christmas Songs? Why Not?.......2005-10-18

I first listened to this CD with a sense of wonder at the ingenious meld of Oriental instruments playing Christmas carols. To the unitiated, the tunes may sound as traditional Chinese music ("Kok Gak"), but upon closer listening, you will recognize the familiar melodies of Yuletide--albeit richer and invokes a more festive atmosphere.

The amazing weaving of the rich sounds of traditional Oriental musical instruments into the sounds of Christmas make this a truly unique experience.

this is a must..hillarious and brilliantat the same time.......2003-05-04

this is a must..hillarious and brilliantat the same time...on the surface this sounds tacky BUT it is a classic...beautiful music ....traditional carols like you've never hear 'em///
