The latest in Windham Hill's line of classic seasonal collections couples the label's most renowned artists and some of the holiday's mostly beloved music. We hear Alex de Grassi, Oysten Sevag, Turtle Island String Quartet, Will Ackerman, and Nightnoise, among others. The varied performances of these artists paint a perfect accompaniment to holiday entertaining, a special dinner or an evening spent just listening to fine music. ~ MusD
