www.cnn.com/2000/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/06/pop.christmas/index.html Ottmar Liebert "Christmas + Santa Fe" Epic Records Very few guitarists -- maybe just two -- could take one of the best-known Christmas songs and turn it into a flamenco-flavored number. Yet that's what Ottmar Liebert does to "Silent Night" during the new age-laced "Christmas + Santa Fe." Twelve of the album's 13 tracks bend a holiday classic into uncharted territory; the remaining "Winter Solstice" is a Liebert original. "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," "Deck the Halls" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" all receive fresh treatment that actually makes this an album that soothes and interests at the same time. |
