Editorial Reviews :
A quintessential example of George Winston's 'folk piano' style, December speaks to the spirit of the season. Mixing traditional carols, a couple of classical works, and his own originals, Winston drops notes with icy clarity into a winter silence, rippling through 'Carol of Bells' and coaxing dark, introspective moods from his own suite, 'Night.' The pianist's liner notes are also a trip as he cites the numerous sources for his music. Who would've thought that the gentle melodies of 'Peace' were inspired by the soundtrack to TV's The Outer Limits? This 20th anniversary edition, which includes two bonus tracks, is a vast sonic improvement over previous releases.
Buyer Reviews :
George Winston brought New Age music in to the American culture. It's just hard to believe that this recording that skyrocketed his career is 20 years old! Most of us will remember the first time we heard George's Carol Of The Bells! It was awesome! It is still here! Along with other classics Thanksgiving, Joy, Some Children See Him and The Holly And The Ivy. Night is divided into 3 separate tracks this time around. The sound quality is a little more somber than the original. Added for bonus tracks are A Christmas Song and Sleep Baby Mine. What's missing is Christmas Time Is Here, Skating, Greensleeves and The Christmas Song. I guess we'll have to wait another 20 years!
There is a difference here is the packaging. The original packaging with the plastic jewel case is my preference, since it wears better through time. It also supposed to include sheet music.
