If you're unfamiliar with this female vocal quartet, this album makes for an excellent introduction to their gloriously arranged
a capella
harmonies. Here, they put their distinctive stamp on holiday tunes ranging from swinging modern numbers like
"Merry Christmas Baby"
and warm, fuzzy chestnuts like
"White Christmas"
to ancient carols like
"Fum Fum Fum."
And for fans of modern
classical
music, the group's breathtaking version of
Benjamin Britten
's
"Balulalow"
is worth the purchase price alone. ~ Bret Love
