About This Recording

A first-class string quartet plays tasteful arrangements … in refreshingly ungimmicky style. Warmly recommended for those who like the tunes better than the words.
The Washington Post

A simple string quartet breathes new life into Christmas classics … brings out the natural beauty in the songs of Christmas. This album will substitute nicely if you won’t be having a live string quartet at this year’s Christmas party.
The Christian Science Monitor

These carols arranged for string quartet are done straight, not tongue-in-cheek as in the "What If Mozart Wrote..." series. The instrumentalists are top flight, including star cellist Nathaniel Rosen. This may be the ideal background CD for Christmas Day… .
Dallas Morning News

Yuletide listening doesn’t come any mellower than this.
The San Francisco Examiner

They make very sweet music together — better than most established quartets. Their playing is smooth and polished, and they set all the traditional carols forth in all their purity and simplicity. Musical taste and spirituality meet here. ‘It Came Upon a Midnight Clear’ sounds like a movement from a late Schubert quartet. Many another sounds like it was written for these four instruments. Almost all the tunes are familiar and much-loved, and none are "messed with" (i.e., given sophisticated arrangements). … A beautiful Christmas gift for chamber music lovers.
