Very beautiful Christmas songs but also failures

Thoroughly other Christmas CD. Usually one oscillates between closely-painful German Christmas and happy American holiday roast. From this double event Pink Martini manages an obvious way per se, the refreshed by Internationales is compiled. Classic, whether it is "White Chritmas" or "Drummer Boy", are in any case always be perceived differently - individually.

The Ukrainian song "Shchedryk" is actually a spherical classic that strikes us from the "Kevin" films known that yes i.Ü. so have some beautiful and unusual Christmas. My favorite is the Jewish "Elochai N'tzor" - never more intimately go. Incredibly exciting is the song "Do you hear what I hear" and "We Three Kings", very Italian and deep "La Vergine degl Angeli" perk-elated the "Ocho Kandelikas".

But I do not like the version of "Little Drummer Boys" because of the rhythm and the Japanese-themed songs are grayish. Undoubtedly you would like some Oriental install, but does not belong to this CD. As part of Christmas little back and why these pieces have at best something artificial, but without a soul. This also applies to serving Hawaii guitar. And totally boring is only the "Santa Baby".

Overall, a small work of art with a few exaggerations
