Has anyone else noticed the increase in the amount of plays that Richard's piano/orchestra version of "Carol Of The Bells" has gotten this year?
With all of the attention that Karen's recordings on the two Christmas albums gets, this is one that gets lost in the "discussion shuffle". It's actually a brilliant arrangement of the familiar choral work, and in fact, I always regretted that the multipart vocal arrangement didn't get the "Carpenters" treatment with multi-overdubs. Still, as it stands, it's a wonderful arrangement, and I'm happy to hear it more and more.
We were just in a supermarket where I heard it playing, which reminded me that I wanted to mention this before. I've also heard it numerous times this year on the Christmas radio stations, and even as backing music on the all-news radio station.
