Since the raise to popularity of Dutch progressive rock super group Focus, it's founding member Thijs Van Leer has been balancing his musical career between his classical roots and his jazz-rock influences. On this release he teams up with pianist Louis Van Dijk and arranger/producer Rogier Van Otterloo to create this beautiful Christmas album, which according to the liner notes it is a compilation, but the whereabouts of the original releases is unknown. The beauty of this album touches your spirit during the Christmas season and beyond. This CD is out of print.

ReplyDeleteFor many years this has been one of my favourite Christmas records (Yes, I have it on vinyl!) The arrangements are just lovely - does anyone know if it is possible to get them in sheet music form, please?
