Winter Rose
Ottmar breathes new life into holiday favorites with sensitive, even
haunting, arrangements of O Little Town of Bethlehem and O Holy Night.
The CD also includes fresh interpretations of classical music,
including Fauré's Pavane and Les Roses D'Isphahan and Tchaikovsky's Le
Café from The Nutcracker. But perhaps the greatest delight are the six
new songs written by Liebert especially for "Winter Rose," including
Westcoast, The Longest Night, Kora/River of Stars, and A Sweet
Persimmon. Each captures the essence of the season. The result is an
album that is both familiar and inventive, heartwarming and evocative.
