". . . okay, so he "soft rocks" but you get the idea! Fernando is a master musician and artist. In what is so often a hectic holiday season, do yourself a favor, pick up the CD, and spend some time relaxing in contemplation. I know what everyone's getting for Christmas."
A Good Christmas CD that could be better

"I am a HUGE Fernando Ortega fan who has found his music to be a tremendous blessing and ministry to my soul. When I heard he was preparing a Christmas CD I was psyched!! When I actually bought the cd and listened to it it was definitely typical Fernando. The instrumentation is simple but beautiful, and the CD is top quality. I was disappointed at the length; the 10 songs clock in at just over 39 minutes which, in this digital age seems very short!! 3 of the 10 songs are instrumentals, and 2 of the songs are re-recordings of "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" and "Jesus King of Angels", songs I have loved but that I've not thought of as being particularly "incarnation-centered."
This is a very good CD that will be a blessing to you, but it could have been so much more!!! Hopefully he will do another Christmas CD later in his career."
My new favorite Christmas cd!

"I love Fernando's rhythms and piano accompaniments to these old Christmas favorites because they make you really listen to them again. In the first song, the words, "born to reign in us forever" stood out to me. I got it for my birthday on Nov. 3 and I'm glad I started listening to it already. The cello parts are also outstanding!

What you'd expect from Fernando for Christmas

"Fernando's reverent style of vocal and a few wonderful instrumental pieces invoke the Spirit, yes, the Spirit of an expectant Christmas. New arrangements that only Fernando can write will be a new experience from the noise of the season.
Bless this gift and the gift heralded by Fernando.
