The style and beauty in which these pieces are performed are definitively Michael Burgess. Gracefully sequenced, the songs blend to create a wonderfully fresh tribute to the Christmas season. The instrumental solo's, coupled with the genius of Doug Riley and the background vocals of Regan Theil, as well as the very talented Susan Gilmour (also featured in duet on Silent Night), again contribute to making "Angels in the Snow" a special and moving part of the season.
