Listener comments about Christmas Carols:

"Sensual vocals and velvety strings will put this Christmas album at the top of your list for seasonal late night listening and relaxation."

"Despite its deceptively plain title, this album is anything but ordinary. I really enjoyed the choices of songs; they seem to flow somehow, unlike the smattering of tunes often heard on Christmas CDS. Like Wondrous Love, this album is representative of the continuity of a strong Christian musical heritage from ancient times to the present. While the lyrics and music of most of these tunes were composed in the 19th century, some lyrics date back
to the 4th century, with music composed in the 11th century."
--Cory C. Engel, CelticChristianTunes - August 2001

"This CD is a real find. Caroline Bowles brings a warmth and freshness to this eclectic collection of Christmas and traditional melodies. Why have I not heard of Caroline before? She is an original talent. Her voice has a rare and entrancing combination of achingly pure tone and sensual warmth. She's always sincere but never earnest. Bowles clearly takes pleasure in broad musical palette. Celtic, folk and gospel influences echo though the album. Enya-like resonances meet the haunting simplicity of the Voix Bulgares. There's a lively musical intelligence at work here."
--David Pearl - Lively Arts, London. January 2001

"Sensual vocals and velvety strings put Christmas Carols at the top of my list for seasonal listening. This album has a beautiful classical new-age feel. Don't expect any up-tempo pop beats or ballads here; this is expressive heart warming music. Caroline's outstanding performances, vocal purity, sensual warmth and comfort, and a soothing musical seascape of acoustic and electronic instruments, make her music so easy listening, especially for late nights and relaxation."
