“All Christmas music should be played so elegantly on violin.”
—The Boston Globe
With all the hustle and bustle associated with this time of year, it’s a real joy to find something as simple and pure as this holiday offering from Mark O’Connor. O’Connor is a Grammy-winning composer and violinist whose album An Appalachian Christmas was chosen by the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times as the top album of the 2012 season. Third in a trilogy of his “Appalachia” recordings, the esteemed fiddler and composer brings his inclusive merging of folk, country, jazz and classical music to this warmly elegant session of An Appalachian Christmas.
