This is one of my favorite CD's. I love the selections - some quiet, some a little more lively. It is extremely relaxing to listen to.
CD Reviews
Favorite CD in my entire collection. PERIOD.

"We own a library of over 1000 cds of various genres, and if I could only pick one to keep, this would be it. I've owned this CD for years, and I always come back to it, even at times other than Christmas. It is all piano, no other vocals or instrumentals. It's peaceful, soothing, uplifiting, even on a bleak February day or a blustery September night.
Point of note, this album is currently listed on Amazon as "Various Artists" but from everything I can tell on my CD, it's played and produced by one artist, pianist David Huntsinger."
The best ever!

"I recieved this CD for Christmas a few years ago, and it immidiately became my favorite. You just can't play it enough times! I was so excited when I found the Piano Winterlude piano book. I play through it all the time, and a lot of the songs are memorized now! David captures a unique Christmas mood that keeps your spirits stirred. Enjoy!!"
The Perfect Instrumental Christmas CD

"There are a plethora of instrumental Christmas CDs available on the market today, but none can compare to "Piano Winterlude." This is the perfect Christmas album.
Imagine yourself at home on a winter's night. It's twilight, a light snow is falling, and inside, you are cozied up to the fireplace with a mug of hot cocoa or wassail, the Christmas tree is sparkling with lights and tinsel, and from somewhere comes the sound of a solo piano playing softly in the background.
"Piano Winterlude" will set this scene for you perfectly. It is a compilation of traditional carols, hymns, and popular Christmas songs, played by pianist David Huntsinger.
This CD will remind you of joyful Christmases past, or of happy gatherings with family and friends singing carols, or perhaps you'll reflect on the the contentment and the solemnity of the holiday season.
While the CD is somewhat short (only 35 minutes), it remains one of the most important pieces in my Christmas music collection. This is one case where quality is more important than quantity. If you never purchase another CD, you'll definitely want to add this one to your collection.
Note: This CD is out of print, so it may be difficult to obtain. However, your searching will be greatly rewarded once you have found it, for you will never tire of the sounds of the comtemplative Christmas that "Piano Winterlude" inspires.

Absolute FAVORITE!

"Because of this tape (I originally purchased the audio cassette), I am now addicted to piano music. I am in this site today to try to find it on CD. This is absolutely beautiful music and I'm looking for it every Christmas. I only wish it contained more music than it does. It's also very difficult to find another one that comes close to being as good as this one. I had to start buying classical music to quench my thirst for more of this kind of music!"
