Our Review
This is one of those CDs that should be played during a winter's evening just about dusk when you have the need to sit quietly and ponder or wind down from a busy day--as it's title suggests, One Silent Night. Kurt Bestor plays a very soothing piano. Listening to him play Christmas music calms me.
He does a particularly effective job with Here We Come a Wassailing, which, through clever pacing and a variety of intensities, he imbues with a particularly joyous yet low-key mood. In fact, he does a tremendous job of conveying mood throughout the CD. In what is primarily a Christian religious set, Bestor does a very good job of conveying a sense of awe and wonder, what the Christmas season is about for many people.
