Really enjoyed Brian's other disc. Will get this one too. The sample sounds great.

NOTE: Brian is a friend of mine as well as being the Music Director for the Oregon Mandolin Orchestra (of which I am a member) . However I have no MFI in the sales of this CD.

I got a good listen to this music this morning. Brian brings out the best in many of the "holiday classics" included in this set and Brian's interpretation will fill any listener with holiday cheer. For those of you not dreaming of a "White Christmas", although included here, there are two wonderful Hawaiian themed tracks (one written by Brian) that will definitely send your thoughts to a Warm South Pacific Holiday setting. With all of the great selections on this disc, my personal favorite is Brian's collaboration with Josh Fienberg (Bass) on "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" it is truly a great version of this holiday classic.

I would recommend this music set it for anyone's holiday music collection.

This is a wonderful project, as have been Brian's previous releases this year. Highly recommended, and yes, I have listened to the entire recording.
