The classic new age holiday album Winter Solstice, Vol. 1: Silver Anniversary Edition collects smooth, gentle versions of holiday favorites and original pieces by leading lights of the genre, including Jim Brickman, Barbara Higbie, Will Ackerman, and Philip Aaberg. Steve Erquiaga's "Greensleeves," Brickman's "Shades of White," and Tim Story's "When Comes December" are quietly reverent celebrations of the season, while Tracy Silverman & Thea Suits' "The Gathering" and Ozzie Kotani's "Queen's Prayer" cast a warmer, more festive glow. In all, it's still a welcome collection of relaxing and elegant holiday music. ~ Heather Phares One of the most well known productions of the Windham Hill label, which basically invented new age music but prefers the term "contemporary instrumental," has been the WINTER'S SOLSTICE series. Perhaps inspired by the season-based recordings of George Winston, the SOLSTICE albums (which feature tunes from a variety of the label's artists) have always been not Christmas albums per se, but winter albums. Of course, a few Yuletide-oriented tunes do find their way onto this, the anniversary edition of the first volume in the series, but for the most part these are agreeable sonic meditations on a wintry state of mind by the likes of Barbara Higbie, Liz Story, and label honcho Will Ackerman himself. If you listen close enough, you can almost hear the snow falling.
