A String Quartet Christmas
Arturo Delmoni & Friends
Steinway & Sons presents a 3 volume set of Christmas classics tastefully arranged for string quartet
If ever a season called for music in the home, it is Christmas. In the days before recordings, members of the household, invariably proficient on one instrument or another, would play music together - both for their own enjoyment and to set a festive mood. The arrangements in this audiophile set from Arturo Delmoni, meticulously produced by John Marks, hearken back to those earlier days. And in that tradition of music-making, the modern household may well be inspired to sing along.
“A first-class string quartet plays tasteful arrangements … in refreshingly ungimmicky style. Warmly recommended for those who like the tunes better than the words.”
— The Washington Post
“A simple string quartet breathes new life into Christmas classics … brings out the natural beauty in the songs of Christmas. This album will substitute nicely if you won’t be having a live string quartet at this year’s Christmas party”
— The Christian Science Monitor
“This is perfect for anyone wanting to focus purely on the melodic beauty inspired by Christmas time... The arrangements are sensitive, the playing really first-class.”
— The Baltimore Sun
