Editorial Reviews :
The first time you listen to this disc you will undoubtedly be transported directly back to your childhood. Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters will go toe-tapping and funky-dancing through your mind's eye. Play it a few more times, though (ignoring the dialogue snippets, if you can), and you will begin to truly revel in Guaraldi's wonderful, humorous, deep piano playing. You'll hear why he's such an influence on new age ivory tickler George Winston, but you'll also realize that Winston's holiday music never quite sparkles with the underlying passion, and humor, that twinkles in these grooves. Buy it for the nostalgia--keep it because it will remain one of the most enchanting albums in your holiday collection.
Buyer Reviews :
If there ever was a must-have cd for the season, this is it. Vince Guaraldi and co. have put together the most enduring and nostalgia-evoking disc of all time here. Consider the following outstanding aspects of this time-honored release:
-the beauty of the brushes on the snare drum, punctuated by Vince's sparse piano notes at the beginning of 'Christmas Time Is Here'
-the children's voices, which remind me a a simpler time, and my own Christmas singing as a child.
-the crispness of Vince's piano comping on 'Skating', which almost makes you feel like you are outside on the ice, breathing in subzero air.
-the unparalleled beauty of the standards 'O Tannenbaum', 'What Child Is This?', and 'Greensleeves'.
The whole album just makes me want to curl up on the couch in front of the fireplace and Christmas tree with a hot chocolate. It's beautiful. My favorite holiday album of all-time.
Essential.
