American Folk Songs for Christmas amounts to an extraordinary and large collection of unvarnished American folk songs sung and played by the Seeger family with help from British friends and folksinger-playwright Ewan MacColl and daughter Kitty. Unassuming and full of old-fashioned good times, this CD's simple pleasures are derived from gospel music and lost carols, mountain hymns, a sprinkling of popular standards, spirituals, and such "earthy" instruments as the concertina, fiddle, piano, dulcimer, banjo, jaw harp, whistle and plain-singing human voices and joyous handclaps. The disc's panoramic look into Christmas from another time and place is just right for th...

Not just another collection of Scandinavian light classics, this disc mixes in evergreens and unfamiliar gems to persuasive effect. As well as generous of extracts from Grieg's Peer Gynt music and Holberg Suite, there are a number of miniatures seldom heard live or on radio these days, but which are never less than pleasurable listening: pieces such as Lars-Erik Larsson's wistful Romance and Ture Rangström's playful Scherzo Leggiero, Olle Jansson's folksy Church March and Erna Tauro's bittersweet Autumn Song, and Armas Järnefelt's poetic Berceuse.
