I have been enjoyed this song for years. But I couldn't understand a few Brazilian lyrics in this song. Is there anyone can help me with it? Thank you in advance!

Love this CD. Listen to it throughout the Christmas holiday season. It's one of my top 3 favorites I listen to that lets me know Christmas is really here! This album runs the gamut of emotions from cute-as-a-button (You Couldn't Be Cuter), to hopeful (Here Comes the Sun), to saddest song Ever (Touch the Hand of Love), to the most beautiful, most heart-touching, hope-giving song Ever (The Wexford Carol). The instrumentals are magnificent. A couple are a little too lively for me, but it does NOT deter from the album at all! Also, I watched the making of the album when it came out. Super interesting and gave me a greater appreciation of all the work that's involved and shows that Yo Yo Ma is one fantastic guy!

This album has become my official kick off to the Holiday Season soundtrack. Beautiful, well-done, respectful, classical, pop, internat'l, jazz, playfulness and serious. So often, holiday albums are rush jobs to market to promote an artist. Well Yo-yo and friends perform great music for its sake. A Classic album for years and years to come.

I love yo-yo ma's work, and these songs are just so beautiful, but I have to say I'm not suprised. That's a good thing of course

any idea how i can get song #25 of the "songs of joy and peace" yo-yo ma songs listed? i bought the cd and only the first 22 songs come on cd. i want the one with the pike's peak ringers.

This is what I'd call an 'active' Holiday album. The changes in tempos and types of music won't let you be lulled to sleep. Yo-Yo-Ma is extraordinary, of course...but I'm old fashioned enough to have preferred a more even blend of music.

Yo Yo Ma is the best cello player ever! His music is fantastic and I would recomend it to anyone, especially these because they have more modern peices in them that teens like me would know better than those that he plays from the classical era.

Well done Yo!

Just wonderful.

as per usual.
