Amazon.co.uk Review
December holds the distinction of single-handedly putting Windham Hill on the map and being the new age album most likely to find its way into music collections of all ilk. In spite of being relentlessly overplayed during the holidays, the solo piano recording has aged quite well. Winston shapes holiday war-horses and original compositions into a captivating contemporary statement. His spare, understated style captures the feel of the dark season, employing ample resonance to evoke a reflective spaciousness. The album's straightforward simplicity conveys both the celebration and quietude that characterize the best of the Yuletide spirit. --Richard Price

Essential christmas listening December 11, 2001

This is the perfect antidote to the usual Christmas music you hear played in shopping malls from mid-November.
Winston's arrangement of Carol of the Bells is particularly captivating but Bach's 'Joy' runs it a pretty close second. And that's not to put down Winston's own compositions. Play this Cd and think to yourself: 'this is how Christmas ought to feel'.
Music for Thanksgiving, Christmas, good food and snow June 12, 2001

A lovely alternative to the usual predictable and familiar x-mas music. This is the perfect background music for any winter party where family and/or friends are sharing good food and drink. Also the best music to sit by a window and watch snow fall. Sometimes melecholic but not depressing and at other times it fills the room with good tidings and joy. An album you can press the repeat button on and listen to three times. The perfect winter music.
