Jaw-dropping talent
Oct 14 2004
By Patrick D. Fleitz
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I have often wondered why classical piano virtuosos have never recorded their own arrangements of Christmas carols. John Bayless has filled this void with an amazing recording of his own arrangements of carols. Everything he has ever put out on cd is amazing, such as his brilliant arrangements of Beatle tunes in the style of Bach to Puccini arias to West Side Story. In this recording, Bayless stays true to the original melodic material, yet displays his staggering command of the keyboard. On the one hand, his performance of "Ave Maria" is just heavenly, on the other hand, "Santa Claus is Comin to Town/Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" is an all out virtuosic blast. I highly recommend this album!

My favorite of the season
Dec 30 2004
By L. L. Holmes
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the holiday music I have listened to throughout the season, and it is so beautiful I cannot bear to put it away yet. I love Bayless's work at any time, and these arrangements simply take my breath away. His blending of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" with "Going Home" from the New World Symphony is particulary poignant. And his signature "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring/Amazing Grace" is seasonless and timeless. Christmas is over, but get this anyway; it's wonderful.

Christmas Rhapsody has quickly become one of our all time favorite Chistmas CDs. We love it so much that it is February 10th and we are still listening to it.
