(Music 8) December – George Winston

This is a beautiful collection of Christmas piano solos by an amazing musician and pianist, George Winston. I went to see him in concert when I was in college, and I was somewhat surprised when he arrived at the venue in jeans and a nice shirt. Although he may lack a certain crowd-pleasing presence, his music is remarkable. My favourite is "Carol of the Bells." This is a great soothing CD to have on as background music during Christmas dinner or during a relaxed holiday party.
