This is a reflective and lovely album of Christmas favorites, arranged for flute, cello and harp. The musicians (all with Cincinnati connections) - harpist Linda Grieser, cellist Michael Daniels and flutist Kathryn Carruthers Daniels - perform these sparkling arrangements with precision and attractive expression.

The performers communicate seamlessly in carols such as "Gesu Bambino," "What Child Is This?" and "The Holly and the Ivy." Harpist Ms. Grieser performs a gracious backdrop to "Ave Maria," featuring the warm cello tone of Mr. Daniels.

Beautifully recorded, it's a warm treat for the holidays.
