Product Description
From Amazon.com
Jim Brickman's 1997 holiday package is all satin bows and glowing hearth embers, precisely the approach his romantically inclined legions would have wished him to take. Those with less sentimental ears might argue that at times the pianist's approach is a touch too sweet. "Joy to the World" would be more affecting as a solo work, for instance, and we could have done without the strings and music-box embellishments heard in "Angels." Yet Brickman compensates by delicately tracing a path to our heart-of-hearts in the album's two superb, nonholiday originals, "Fireside" and "Winter Peace." Three vocal tracks surface here: a breathy Kenny Loggins sings on the album's obligatory lullaby ("Starbright"), the female gospel group Point of Grace takes a bow ("Hope is Born Again"), and country vocalist Collin Raye performs a heart-clutching duet with Susan Ashton on the title track. It's not Brickman's finest record, but it's a very pretty one. --Terry Wood

Lovely religious Christmas piano music
Nov 28 2003
Format:Audio CD
I purchased this cd because I had heard "Joy to the World" on a compilation CD of various artists. I was otherwise unfamiliar with Jim Brickman. I liked his piano style on this song with some light jazzy overtones. "The Gift" is a mostly instrumental CD. I would have liked a bit more variety in his piano playing from song to song. I enjoyed the largely traditional treatment of my favorite Christmas carols. I recommend this CD to anyone looking for religious Christmas piano music. The music is both spiritual and soothing.
must-have CD

I simply love this cd. It is definately a Christmas treasure. His music is so relaxing you just want to curl up on the couch with a roaring fire going and enjoy a good book while listening to this cd. This is one cd that everytime I hear it the songs evoke the most treasured memories of my lifetime. Definately a wonderful purchase. If you have any of his other cd's you will certainly want to have this in your collection! If you are looking for really great Christmas Music and feel that there are limited choices to choose from definately purchase this one! You will absolutely love it!
