Product Description
CD Description
Following a poll conducted by Classic FM to find the nation’s favourite traditional Christmas music, the station has specially commissioned Silent Nights, a wonderful collection of well-known Christmas music, beautifully arranged for piano and strings by renowned contemporary composer Nigel Hess. Brand new for 2010, this stunning album includes tranquil favourites "Away In A Manger" and "Silent Night", and more celebratory pieces "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" and "O Come All Ye Faithful". Nigel plays the piano himself, in a rare opportunity to hear the composer play, and is accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s string section. Since Christmas can be a frantic time, the album is the perfect antidote to the busy December period.
Silent Nights is peaceful, tranquil and reflective music, with timeless melodies that evoke memories of childhood, family, and the warmth of home.

What a AMAZING selection of carol arrangements - the image on the cover is Gold Hill (or Hovis Hill!) in Shaftesbury, down the road from me in Dorset.
Merry Xmas Nigel Hess, lovely stuff!

Wow, finally! A Christmas album that I'm looking forward to listening to with my family and friends, gathered around a toasty fire and drinking mulled wine! I've played this album twice today and it creates such a serene setting with beautiful piano and string versions of some of my favourite carols. In some weird and wonderful way, it reminds me of my best Christmases ever - they should all be like this!

I searched for this for ages and finally turned to online. Turned up well packaged and very quickly. The price was good too. So great to find stuff not in the shops.

Scrumptious music
I had never heard of Nigel Hess before, but this piano music is so relaxing and wonderful. I keep playing it and playing it. Although it is all Christmas tunes, I still play it.
